I'm not sure what that means, but I'm skeptical. Java for example shows a steady decline over the whole span of the graph. Then in 2015 it has a massive surge, then in 2016 a massive decline. C shows a similarly enormous decline , of over 50% in 2016. Did the amount of C programmers really drop by half in 2016?

Also, JavaScript is at only 2x it's 2004 figure on the graph.

That really does stand out. There simply has to be something wrong with their JS numbers.
