the problem with this is it's opinions of the creator, presented as imperial fact - as if it's actually representative.<p>This is dangerous, because people who are easily mislead will see this and become java developers - or hire only .net developers, because they saw that graph.<p>I've browsed around - every one of these graphs is completely irrational, tells nothing substantive, or are misleading at the least. There are <i>some</i> truths scattered about, but by and large it's largely nonsense.<p>Graphs tell a story - and every one of those stories is either entirely made up, or has some pretty disputable results.<p>there IS a story to tell, but it takes more than a graph to tell it. There's a lot of "it depends"<p>I don't mean to gutpunch the author. I strongly disagree with this project - but commend the effort. the design is clear and straightforward, and it's another project shipped. That's certainly worth something.<p>edit:<p>from the related writeup:<p>> What makes this visualisation so attractive, is that it provides you with a
starting point for understanding and exploring a certain market and it’s key technologies.<p>> That information can help you decide whether to either invest your time and money into an emerging technology, or wait for the hype to pass.<p>this is <i>exactly</i> the kind of takeaways you should not be making from these graphs.
