ESR: Computer Language Trends in 2009

Erlang has 40 projects on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/tags/erlang

    Java   5316
    C++    4824
    Perl   3730
    Python 3161
    ...
    Erlang   40

It may be that Erlang people don't add their projects to freshmeat.

Hey, do the math. :-) Where else are projects announced? Do they have comparable numbers? I guess there's hosting at sourceforge, google code and github - but are they easy to browse? (I've never browsed them... I just had a go at github, it's mindbogglingly slow to serve every page, also few java projects). I'm asking these three (3) questions out of curiosity.

Where are you located? GitHub's average page response is 400ms according to our NewRelic data.

Thanks for asking. I'm in Melbourne, Australia

ping github.com = 192ms

loading http://github.com/bmizerany/sinatra/tree/work = 11000ms (11 secs)

wget of the same took between 1000-5000ms (1-5secs)

If there's a lot of javascript, that might be slowing it down.
