[COFF] Popular Programming languages over time

[Clem Cole]

I saw that a while ago.  I'd love to know more about the dataset behind it
as Larry asked,

FWIW: Pascal/Delphi being big did not surprise me as it was what was taught
in the colleges in the 70s.   Today they are teaching Python and Java so we
see generations of new programmers going into the world with those skills
(like my own daughter).

Larry - I think the way to explain Ada, is that it was very big for a while
when DoD, DoC and some of DoE when USG bids required it.  But as fast as it
rose, it fell pretty fast from favor.

For me, I'm always amazed at things like Javascript and PHP, but their rise
is directly mapped to people creating web sites.
