Greg Luck: "Ruby is hot, Java is cool, C# is neither"

Greg Luck, in "OSCON2005: Ruby is hot, Java is cool, C# is neither," documents his perception of the discussions of languages at OSCON2005.

... The O'Reilly book sales charts show that Java spiked and C# started to decline after JDK 1.5 was released.
