I was expecting this survey to follow the TIOBE Index survey, which I have tracked for some years now. I guess not too surprised to have C come out on top.

Strange,No takers for perl. Perl still dominates the ISV field in MTA, Spam Assasins, Mail Domain. Given its vast amount of Comprehensive CPAN Modules. I'm sure people in many companies use Perl as a primary development languages.

OK, OK, I mostly do write Perl code, but mostly for using a few times and throwing away. It has been quite a while since I last "developed" something in Perl for longer use.
