And, again, just a guess, but I'm guessing the huge percentage of
programmers these days are writing .NET code on vanilla Windows
machines
(not that I like it, but it does seem to be a fact of life). A lot of
people also seem to be writing stored SQL procedures to run on MS SQL.
Bad guess. .NET is way down the list of popularity (much to
Microsoft's chagrin). COBOL is still number 1; C/C++ still way
surpass .NET. And MSSQL is well behind MySQL in the number of
installations (I think Oracle is still #1 with DB2 #2).
I wonder where did you had those numbers?
Usually, in various studies, COBOL is not even in the 5 firsts. I do
not say that those studies are pertinent, they are obviously not,
since their methods always shows problems. But, it does not means that
they are completely wrong, and I mostly use them as very vague
indicators.
So, I would like were you had your indicators, I may find that
interesting for various reasons.
