And considering market share the one is Symbian. doing better than all others.
So going from 60+% to just barely 40% in less than 2 years is "doing better"? Symbian's market share is dropping like a rock.

Symbian is dead, and rightly so!
The crappiest development platform and API ever conceived.
Did Con unleash some of his trolls on Slashdot?
Yeah, I think he just did
Roger that.
It is actively despised.

Can we please restrict "buzz posts" to developer communities that have at least 10 members, from now on?
Don't be too surprised by Symbian breaking this year the "100 million devices sold annually" barrier, and generally maintaining quite well its half of smartphone market.
Used to be 55% in 2007, 50% in 2009 and now is 44% in Q1 2010.

...it's too late for PERL. The system and kernel engineers chose to stick with C, PHP ran all over it with less cryptic syntax, and all the web 2.0 "me too" morons are now hacking away in Ruby and Python.
But really, PERL's demise was PHP. Especially since the CLI version of PHP, turning him into a true general purpose language.
Dude, you lost me at PHP.
Perl IS the most widely spread scripting system on a Unix host, after Shell.
So the guy wants to write a web server to scratch an itch or something. No big deal there. The question is WHY THE FUCK DID IT MAKE SLASHDOT?
Same question I had in mind
Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.
