As part of RedMonk’s analysis about language rankings, here’s a visualization that tracks the movement of the top 20 languages over the history of the rankings.

The idea is not to offer a statistically valid representation of current usage, but rather to correlate language discussion and usage in an effort to extract insights into potential future adoption trends.
