Programming Language Trends in Open Source Development: An Evaluation Using Data from All Production Phase SourceForge Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we analyze data collected from the CVS repositories of 9,997 Open Source projects hosted on SourceForge in an effort to understand trends in programming language usage in the Open Source community between 2000 and 2005. The trends we consider include: 1) the relative popularity of the ten most popular programming languages over time, 2) the use of multiple programming languages by individual programmers and by individual projects, and 3) the programming languages most often used in combination.

A wealth of data can be extracted from the natural byproducts of software development processes and used in empirical studies of software engineering. However, the size and accuracy of such studies depend in large part on the availability of tools that facilitate the collection of data from individual projects and the combination of data from multiple projects. To demonstrate this point, we pre...
