Might not be obvious from the graph, but this is about popularity, not deployment (very evident for example from the Objective C graph). Plus, C++ and C are counted as separate entities, while in reality they are more like parts of one family. But as disclaimed, I'm not trying to prove anything and know it will touch many people in sensitive places It was just something funny I ran across.
