Yes, that was confusing too. But it makes no sense to plot 
ranking on a linear scale, they should plot actual numbers. The 
plot they provide says nothing meaningful about the relative 
position of the various languages IMO.

Unfortunately for "D", it is also a language that is often 
misclassified in these shallow analyses. For instance the ".d" 
file extension is used for other things than dlang etc.

And does it actually make any sense to compare languages like 
Python and C++? Completely different domains.
