Another interesting move this month concerns Scala. The functional programming language jumps to position 25 after having been between position 30 and 50 for many years. Scala seems to be ready to enter the top 20 for the first time in history.<br>
<br>
Haskell dropped from the top 50 last month and hasn't come back. I suppose, if Haskell compiled to JVM, Haskell would have a much wider audience.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>First of all do you know how this ranking is build? It's an agglomeration of nonsense values which aim to give the language trend.<br>Maybe Scala has benefited of the JVM or maybe it has profited of the auto-assigned "functional" because some communities, like the Haskell community, have heavily worked for that during decades.<br>The only side-effect of a growth in this ranking will attract some addicted to Resumé Driven-Development.<br>Popular or not, you can do anything you want with Haskell and no ranking will change that.<br></div></div>
