Scripting Languages Breaking Developers’ Ties to Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| “Interestingly, while we see Linux continue to increase as a target platform,
| this category of development reflects the greatest growth in targeting a non
| windows target platform.”
|
| The survey found that scripting languages are used by 56% of developers
| today, and while more than half of those developers use scripts less than 20%
| of the time, both the total number of developers using scripting languages
| and the amount of time spent is expected to increase during the coming year.
| Linux was strong for both target and platform with PHP and Ruby users.
