The languages Adam speaks of seem to be in low demand, I suppose that's the reason not many people bother to learn them. An interesting article caught my eye at jobstractor.com — the programming language trends review <http://jobstractor.com/monthly-stats>. The company analyzed more than 60,000 job vacancies during 2012 to produce a chart of the most sought-after technologies: Language Jobs PHP 12,664 Java 12,558 Objective C 8,925 SQL 5,165 Android (Java) 4,981 Ruby 3,859 JavaScript 3,742 C# 3,549 C++ 1,908 ActionScript 1,821 Python 1,649 C 1,087 ASP.NET 818 [image: programming language vacancy statistics] Despite developer complaints, demand for PHP and Java (server/Android) remains strong. You would also expect those jobs to require some SQL knowledge although that has a strong showing in its own right.
