Predicting software engineering trends is difficult because of the wide range of factors involved and the complexity of their interactions. In an earlier article, the authors discussed a tentative structure for this complex problem and gave a set of possible methods to approach it. Here, they reduce the problem's scope and try to gain some depth by focusing on a compact set of trends: programming languages. They choose 17 languages, measure their evolution over several years, then draw statistical conclusions on what drives a language's evolution.
