Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Global Popularity of Programming Languages, here is a quick summary:

I used Google Insights to look at the global search popularity for a dozen programming languages. Although I wasn't inspired with any particularly valuable insights, its still fairly interesting to see the distributions.

An excellent article! I am not sure what to make of it though... Who would have thought that Russia has such an affinity for esoteric programming languages.

From what I know, there is a lot of emphasis on all things scientific and academical in the culture so that fact might be swaying a lot of people to try languages such as OCaml, Common Lisp, and Haskell which are widely adopted in academia.

It is sad to see this confirmation that my home country Canada is far from a high-tech nation...

I am curious what other people think about their home countries...
