A comment on C# vs Ruby.

Interesting, but you've got to factor in the fact that C# is a much more specific search term than Ruby...

C# searches are probably mostly about C#. The Ruby result would also contain all the searches involving "Ruby" that aren't related to the language at all.

The C# 9-5 theory also supported by the long term view, showing yearly drops between mid-December till January.

Interesting, from that page you can see that ruby has many more news stories despite its lower search volume.

Also interesting: on the usa-only graphy, ruby and c# have had about the same search traffic since 1996. http://www.google.com/trends?q=C%23,+ruby&date=all&g...

You mean "since 2004".

Yup.... C# vs Emerald yields the exact same graph. Is Emerald a new language we haven't heard about it?
