We had a debate about the popularity of computer languages.
I found a method to determine at least the probability of getting
a job using that knowledge !
Site www.indeed.com is a search engine merging many job sites.
If I type ADA for example, I get 42 results but most are for
something else and only 5 applies to the language. This is
limited to Canada however (detected from my IP).
C++ gives 2,258 results, 2,383 for C#, 1,074 for Visual Basic,
1,332 for PHP, etc.
genealogy has 2 results, for a job where knowledge of Metis
genealogy and culture is important. There are 58 results if
I use www.indeed.com as URL (i.e. jobs in USA).

remember one commentator writing that anyone with a knowledge of Ada
would never be unemployed. Wave of the future and all that.

Journalists will rant or rave about things they know nothing about.

Generally knowledgable, but it's always dangerous for anyone to make
predictions; especially when they're about the future.
