Here is some well reasoned opinion on the subject of programming languagues. The links at the end are rather nice.

All you seen to have proven with your stats (if anything given their dubious validity) is that Perl and Java have remained static for popularity whilst Python has made inroads. You might reflect that Python is the core language at Google. Does this give Google a Python bias? Do would be Googlers learn Python just in case they get that call? Do I care?

def language(perl,python):
    try:
        return perl/python
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        return perl

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
