Maybe the 'popularity' thing is just one of those January hiccups. You know, when I go to the gym now, there's all these New Year Resolutionists and I can see it in their face. "This is the year I'm gettin' in shape!" Well, unfortunately it doesn't always stick.

Maybe there's lots a junior web dev's out there saying "This is the year I'm gonna learn Perl!". Hopefully it will stick.
