Okay, I see, it's just percentage of the highest value. To make any kind 
of qualitative judgements, it would be necessary to at least have a hint 
for the absolute numbers.

And how do you verify that that's a better classification? If you look 
at the graphs of any of "D", "dlang", "D programming language", "D

such as the date of first publication, version 1.000, version 2.000, the 
conferences etc.
