Java Surpasses C++ on SourceForge

[[__hector]]

La noticia es buena, no asi la comparacion. Es dificil esperar que en sourceforge, un sitio de desarrollo principalmente de software abierto, y cuyos proyectos se enfocan en su mayoria en plataformas linux, tenga un mayor repunte dotnet sobre java. Lo de java sobre c++ si es es interesante.

Por cierto, que ese tema se trato una vez en Barrapunto, asi que seria bueno ver los comentarios (a favor y en contra) sobre el suceso.

PD. espero que no se me vaya a confundir con ningun evangelista de MS ni nada por el estilo, eh.

In North America, the percentage of developers who use Java as one of their principal programming languages declined to 47.9 in Evans' fall survey, vs. 51.4% in the fall of 2002. The same surveys show that while Java use is climbing in Asia, it's on the decline in Europe.

Meanwhile, .NET usage increased to 54.1% from 40.3% in the same period in North America, and exceeded Java use in Europe and Asia. In a different survey series, the use of PHP in North America grew to 36.1% this fall, from 26% in the fall of 2003. It grew almost as quickly in Europe and Asia. "There's more competition out there," says Evans President John Andrews. "These other technologies are catching hold. They're biting away at [Java's] share."
