I think the reason "mathematica programming" doesn't return many results is because it is not usually perceived as a programming language per se, rather a mathematics software. Because of this, I think Mathematica (and MATLAB, or any specific-use programming languages) statistics are bound to be skewed.
As for TIOBE not being accurate in its statements, I think it is. It says, "The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system." Programming skills being up to date does not necessarily imply industry jobs; what about academia, personal projects, etc.? As well, language choice for software, especially that designed for the mainstream, would more likely benefit from languages that are more popular in the mainstream. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
