Analyst: New developer demographics favor Linux, PHP
,----[ Quote ]
| But there does appear to be a definite
| expiration date on these old-school
| programming languages. Interest in dynamic
| languages like PHP and Ruby is not
| complementary to Java and .Net, as Savio
| Rodrigues found, but rather is happening at
| their expense.
|
| The "youthquake" threatens to shake up old
| hierarchies.
|
| This demographic shift is indicative of
| much more than a passing fad in lightweight
| development, reflecting, rather, a deep and
| abiding interest in open source, as I've
| written, but one that is maturing.
