Define "popular" - what's actually in use, versus what people want to
use. And job listings versus research. Both of those would lead to
different results ;)

Interesting overview, but I have my
doubts about its accuracy. Lisp
seems to have been too popular in the mid-1980s, and at the same time
he claims that Ada was the most popular language. Both seem highly
unlikely to me. And then JavaScript got off to a flying start: over
4% in Q2 1995, quite an impressive for a language that was introduced
in Q3 1995. So without much more proof I'd take it with a pinch of
salt.
