Hello,
To continue a recent discussion on how to measure and publish
transparently web-based popularity statistics on programming
languages, there is a working preview of a fully automated statistics-
gathering engine here:

http://sf.net/projects/lang-index/

The code is available through a svn checkout.
You need to put the sources of the Ada Web Server (AWS) in the
aws_stuff directory and a zlib or libz dll (or equivalent, depending
on the system...).

Here are the kind of results it gives:
First, a grid with the exact hit counts and web requests, so everybody
can check the results:
http://lang-index.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lang-index/details.html
Second, rankings, with different classifications:
http://lang-index.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lang-index/grids.html

Interesting, isn't it ?
Have fun!
Gautier
