As a secondary thought (I'm replying again to the same post, my
apologies), upon glancing at the site again, I would say that there is
some serious question of upfront bias in the presentation; I just
noticed the subtitle to the page is

	C# still on track to become number 1 within 2 years time

I would say that that statement, in the light of an arbitrary and
unspecified ranking system, suggests several basic methodology
problems.  Curve extrapolation of arbitrary figures is unlikely to tell
us much of any use.
