Without comment, I guess this is easily read as negative. I just 
mean that 43 isn't worth celebrating. I don't think 23 was worth 
celebrating either. In the top 20 are "Classic Visual Basic", 
"Assembly Language", SQL, PHP. At 43, D has fallen below COBOL, 
"Ladder Logic", Logo, and Ada. Should I conclude that Logo might 
be a better language to write my next project in?

Changes in the top 3 or top 5 languages of this index could be 
exciting to follow, but even by the top 10 it's hard to see a lot 
of meaning in the placements.
