[net.lang] popular "programming" languages

While Fortran and Cobol and Basic may have had their day, I suspect that
the most popular "programming language", both in terms of number of "programs"
and in terms of number of "lines" of code, is Visi-calc (or Multi-plan or
*-calc or *-plan).  While most of us may be willing to admit that the days
of the "glass teletype" are over, we may not have really recognized the
consequences of that change.
