It doesn't measure buzz.
What are the 'buzz' languages at the moment? Clojure and Scala are both
definitely buzzing at the moment and generating a lot of interest on the
web, yet Scala isn't in the top 50 and Clojure isn't even in the top 100.
If you can show me in any way how the programming language "Avenue" is
buzzing more than Clojure (or is more popular on any measure) then I'll
be impressed.
