But I don't think that anyone would dispute that those five languages
are "more used [in new projects]" and "more talked about [recently]." 
That there's very little correlated between the ordering of the five
suggests that the data isn't going to be telling you other than, "Yep,
they're popular, but you probably already knew that."
