"Python has been declared as programming language of 2007. It was a 
close finish, but in the end Python appeared to have the largest 
increase in ratings in one year time (2.04%). There is no clear reason 
why Python made this huge jump in 2007. Last month Python surpassed Perl 
for the first time in history, which is an indication that Python has 
become the "de facto" glue language at system level. It is especially 
beloved by system administrators and build managers. Chances are high 
that Python's star will rise further in 2008, thanks to the upcoming 
release of Python 3."
