Another possible definition that 15% of the developers in the world are using that language at a point in time. Based on these, I listed C, C++, Java, C#, COBOL, VB, Perl, PHP and Javascript as Big Languages.
As an aside, are Perl and PHP in wide enough use to really support that 15% figure? Just curious - if I were making that list based on my own perceptions and experience I would leave those two and possibly COBOL off of it.

Based on the statistics I've seen, yes.
