What is the point of this survey? How is one supposed to use this information?
I mean, saying that Java is "more popular" than SQL is of limited value, other than suggesting people are doing less database work than database work. The people who answer "SQL" are not necessarily saying they like it better than Java. It just means they do a lot of database work.
Besides that, one may not have a choice as to what to use. For example, they work in a "Java shop", well, they're using Java and not C. Not their choice and it doesn't mean that they like Java better than C.
Overall, I'm confused by what one is supposed to take away from this survey. I'm also not sure that "popularity" is the right term to describe the results. Not sure what IS the right term. I'm just not sure that "popularity" is it.
