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.

It might look closer to what you think is reality, but it seems like including the english word 'language' would skew the results a bit.

While I'm not sure how realistic any of these results are, restricting the search to the language name and the programming section is as fair of a metric as you can get, I'd say.
