It is always fun to watch the various programming contests that happen every year. In this Ant contest the judges had interesting things to say: "Java and C++ are very suitable for rapid prototyping." "Haskell is the language of choice for discriminating hackers!" "Haskell and C++ are fine programming tools for many applications." And in the language statistics: 25C++ 24OCaml 23hand coded 21Java 20Haskell 16Python 15C 12Lisp 11Perl 9Scheme 8unknown 7C# 5Ruby 5Pascal 2SML 2Basic 2m4 1Mercury 1Scala 1Erlang 1Tcl 1D 1Alice 1GNUepsilon 1Nemerle 1bash 1Revolution 1Smalltalk Now, it doesn't make sense to try to take these stats and make comparisons to The Real World. I don't think a huge group of people are coding in OCaml ;) It does show you that there are MANY good languages out there. You can "get the job done" in many of them, and other things are more important that the actual language that you use.
