Very nice. Great work, and very comprehensive. And I agree (please forgive me for repeating this) but seeing trends would be great.

Have you considered other sources, say, Technorati for similar data mining? That may prove to be another way to measure how much people are talking about a language...

Maybe we could convince Demetri Martin to do a Trendspotting segment on the Daily Show about programming languages.

Yes, getting stats from people's online journals is a good idea for keeping track of people's discussions. Technorati looks like it has a good API, too, so thanks for the suggestion!
