[staunch]

I'm pretty sure this is meaningless as well, but interesting:

Then

  2,730,000 for asp code
  2,450,000 for java code
  1,730,000 for php code
  1,710,000 for perl code
  276,000 for python code
  224,000 for lisp code
  89,600 for ruby code
  9,580 for erlang code

Now

  64,700,000 for php code
  25,700,000 for asp code
  15,500,000 for java code
  1,540,000 for perl code
  1,390,000 for erlang code
  1,160,000 for python code
  711,000 for ruby code
  484,000 for lisp code

There are actually fewer Perl sites now. That is sad :(
