[plug] What programming languages are popular in Perth?

[Andrew Cooks]

Here's an updated tally:

1. Paying bills:

Javascript: 4 + 4 = 8
Perl: 4 + 2 = 6
Bash shell: 3 + 2 = 5
Java: 2 + 2 = 4
Python: 1 + 3 = 4
PHP: 3
Ruby: 1 + 1 = 2
C++: 0 + 1 = 1
Korn shell: 1
R: 1
PL/SQL: 1
Go: + 1
C: + 1
Vala: + 1
Fortran: + 1
Objective-C : + 1
C#: + 1


2. Fun:

Javascript: 1 + 4 = 5
Python: 1 + 3 = 4
C: 1 + 2 = 3
C++: 3
Perl: 3
Java: 1 + 1 = 2
Haskell: 2
Go: + 2
C#: + 2
Delphi: 1
Korn shell: 1
Clojure: 1
Agda: 1
Ruby: 1
Vala: + 1
Fortran: + 1

I think it's safe to infer from these results is that PLUG is quite an
interesting mix of people, but I'm surprised that so few people use C
and C++.
