Evans Data Corp. has released results of a survey that show a decline in usage of three popular open source dynamic languages in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The survey of 400 developers in the EMEA region showed double-digit declines in the use of PHP, Perl and Python, the three languages that make up the "P" in the LAMP acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl/Python.
According to the Evans Data survey taken in the spring of this year, the number of EMEA developers using PHP dropped by more than 25 percent in the last year, and the number of developers who said they would not evaluate or use PHP for future development projects grew by nearly 40 percent in the same time period.
I haven't decided if this is good or bad, I just thought that the information was interesting.
