Interesting overview, but I have my doubts about its accuracy.  Lisp
seems to have been too popular in the mid-1980s, and at the same time
he claims that Ada was the most popular language.  Both seem highly
unlikely to me.  And then JavaScript got off to a flying start: over
4% in Q2 1995, quite an impressive for a language that was introduced
in Q3 1995.  So without much more proof I'd take it with a pinch of
salt.
