Interesting...

Two Things:

1) I'm surprised by how low C# is. Actually, maybe this is more of a not-advertised-on-twitter thing rather than the popularity of the language, which makes the difference interesting.

2) Die flash Die!




it'll be interesting to see the fate of flash over the coming months I think


Well you can see the interest in Flex is waning since middle 2009 http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=0-5&q=flex%2C... . Compare that with JQuery : http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=0-5&q=flex%2C...


I read that YouTube, one of Flash's last big supporters, is working hard on an HTML5 video viewer


YouTube has had HTML5 video for a while. I actually like the HTML5 viewer more than their flash one. You can start using it at http://www.youtube.com/html5.

The one thing they don't have are ads for the HTML5 videos, so things like music still have to be viewed with flash.


I thought YouTube already supported HTML5 players? I remember trying something, but perhaps it is in beta.


You can join their HTML5 player trial here: http://www.youtube.com/html5


Thanks!
