If you look at the list, although subject to error, the languages you 
would expect are at the top.  At the very least its a fuzzy indication 
of where some languages are compared to others at least in terms of 
search ability/presents on the web.

I have a feeling that D should be much lower on the list as many of the 
other languages have been used in more commercial applications then D.
