I don't understand these kind of rankings. What are you supposed to conclude from them?
My point is that computer programming as an industry is so diverse and complex that these general comparisons become almost useless.
Some examples:
* If you live in a town with lots of government agencies and big corporations then it is a lot more important to understand some obscure Java or .Net framework than even mainstream languages like C or C++.
* If you live in a place with a big financial industry or hardware development then probably understanding the arcane details of C++ and compiler idiosyncrasies is more useful than any web-related language.
