The original report ranks fifty languages. More focus is placed on the top twenty.

Lastly, don't consider the results of this survey as definitive. It is merely representative. Not all programmers were asked for their evaluation, so the results do not necessarily reflect reality. Having said that, one can take away the general trend of the marketplace. In particular, there isn't significant market demand for PL/I programmers anymore (although I endured PL/I while in school...).

I also do not understand why Logo is even mentioned, but hey, grade school kids can have their language of choice too.
