According to TIOBE’s report for January 2007, Ruby is 10th most popular programming language.

    "The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of programming
    languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the world-wide availability of
    skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, MSN, and Yahoo!
    are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming
    language or the language in which most lines of code have been written."

    Java is still the most popular language, with C and C++ in the next positions. I found curious the fact that Visual Basic is the 4th most popular porgramming language, ahead of PHP and some other very popular languages like Perl, Javascript and Python.
