In this work, the authors analyze data collected from the CVS repositories of 9,997 Open Source projects hosted on SourceForge in an effort to understand trends in programming language usage in the Open Source community between 2000 and 2005. The trends the authors consider include: the relative popularity of the ten most popular programming languages over time, the use of multiple programming languages by individual programmers and by individual projects, and the programming languages most often used in combination.
