Abstract

Predicting software engineering trends is hard because of the range of factors involved and the complexity of their interactions. Having developed earlier a tentative structure and some possible solutions for this problem, the authors now reduce the problem scope and try to gain some depth by focusing on a compact set of trends: programming languages. They measure the evolution of 17 languages over several years to draw statistical conclusions on what drives a language's evolution.
