DaniWeb is php

Hi AB - Can't agree more with your comments. But, followed your link and couldn't find ASP in the top 50 languages. Is it that ASP is more of 'technology'/'collection of languages' ? ASP.net, I noticed, can use c#.net and vb.net. Would these be included in the c# and visual basic listings?

perl can use c, perl exists
php can use c, php exists
most languages can use extensions written in other languages
but you wouldnt say html is included in the perl language just coz my html form posts to a perl script
asp is below countable,
the Mac of programming, ( huge amount of advertising, corporate pusch, sales at 2% )
