but virtually everything else I've tried is trending down. (Well, Clojure is growing, but only shows about 12 months of measurable data. It's hard not to grow when you start at 0, as Clojure did when it launched in 2007)
I agree though that "flat is the new up" on this graph since the number of people searching for programming topics isn't growing as fast as the number of people using Google.
It's the Linux search that makes me think Google trends isn't a reliable metric for the popularity of a technology topic. Surely Linux isn't losing mind share as quickly as that graph is declining.
