The Languages of Hacker News

I cannot find a link to the mentioned dataset and my google-fu is useless on this. Where can I get it?

Edit: I realized that the dataset was taken from http://api.ihackernews.com/ but has been taken down since.

[ronnier]

Email me and I'll get it to you.

Interesting to see that Erlang and Lisp are missing. Whenever possible I'm doing new development in Erlang (with C linked-in drivers where needed for performance).

Personally, I'm moving away from Java and languages that target the JVM. I find that Erlang lets me express solutions more concisely and the Erlang emulator/vm has many of the tools needed for massively scalable, distributed, fault-tolerant systems built-in.

Ask and ye shall receive: the post has been updated with a new graph which includes data for both Erlang and Lisp.

[sogrady]

Ok, if you wanted data for C, C#, Erlang, Haskell, Lisp, or Perl, I've updated the post. Saw the Ocaml request too late to get it in, but your number is 1658.

No F#?

[sogrady]

F# is 1073.

[rodh257]

or even C#

[luisns]

nice, it would be interesting another one but focused on frameworks

[sogrady]

I'll do frameworks next, then. Any frameworks that people are particularly interested in seeing?
