There is a lot of .NET stuff out there, and it is more general language than some of the ones you included…

You could write a post yourself using job search data to compare lisp with other languages.

I have spent time investigating Python and Ruby extensively. After this post I will defiantly be looking into Perl. Thank you for enlightening me!

Pointing out that Ruby Tuesday was generating false positives was something I didn’t think about. Thanks for that.

I’m just going to copy it here as it may be useful to the (many) people who come to this page looking for job trend information.

Hello Tim:

Thanks again for your participation in the open source interview and the Perl expert interview back in December. I thought you would find the updated stats on Perl as a helpful source for one of your upcoming blog entries. You can find it at: http://www.odinjobs.com/Odin/marketstatcompare?id=4251&q=perl

Better yet, you can compare Perl to another skill of your choice. You can also add variables such as location, role, and industry.

Here is an example of a comparison of Perl versus Java: http://www.odinjobs.com/Odin/marketstatcompare?id=4252&q=perl+vs+java

Here is how one blogger used the information: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/infosphere/how-to-kick-start-your-datastage-career-27481

You can post a widget of the stats comparison on your blog or site or post any of the individual charts comparing Perl to another skill to support any blog entry or article concerning the statistics.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Carl Williams
Marketing Director
Odinjobs

As Java has such a large install base and this is supported by your numbers of Java jobs, there is massive scope for scripting languages to take off on the JVM. Such things as Groovy, Scala, jRuby, jPython, etc. I am not saying that these programming languages score high at the moment but if they take off they could really take off.

I believe many Perl jobs get advertised here first (because it’s known that good perl developers know that good jobs can be found there) and so many of them don’t reach the ‘mainstream’ job sites.

Perhaps similar sites exist for other languages.

At http://jobs.perl.org/about/stats you can see the historical growth in their perl job adverts. Currently running at around 160 per month.

It was very helpful. We are modifying to include your suggestions to make it easy to embed the graphs and add links to the market statistics page. Let you know when it is available.
