[COFF] Most Popular Programming Languages 1965 - 2019

[Adam Thornton]

I work in Python for my day job.  Every day I use PyPi, the third-party
package repository, and every time I do I miss CPAN.  Sure, there was a lot
of crap in CPAN but the repository itself was well organized.  And Python's
testing framework has finally gotten OK-ish, but Perl always had good test
facilities.

I quite like the idea of "what musician is your favorite programming
language?"  Perl is Captain Beefheart, maybe?  Weird, eclectic, brilliant,
frequently incomprehensible?  Java is definitely Coldplay: it's corporate
rock.  It's fine.  PHP is Nickelback.
