As I told some of my co-workers today: If you read the fine print, the actual statistic is “% of developers who are developing with the language or tech but have not expressed interest in continuing to do so.” Clearly, it’s not a good list to be on, but developer behavior also doesn’t reflect their stated intent. NPM Stats show the number of Cordova downloads has actually doubled since the same time last year.
Again, I don’t think this is a good list to appear on… I’m just not sure what to make of it given developer behavior. Ryan J.
