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.

Considering China has alot of programmers, their absence seems odd (they don't use alternative names for these languages) except they are all probably searching for these terms on Baidu, not Google. It's quite probable their searches for these languages would be frequent enough to stick them in at least a couple of the top tens, except they're using the wrong search engine so we don't see it.
