From Computerworld, October 1996 ("big cry for smalltalk")

   /.../

   For example, Source Services Corp., a Washington-area recruiting firm,
   had more than 200 openings for Smalltalk programmers in the first half
   of this year, compared with 77 openings in the same period last year.

   Demand for C++ talent, on the other hand, is declining.

   For the same period, Source Services had 140 C++ positions, down from
   175 a year earlier, according to Paul Villella, managing partner at
   the company's Tyson's Corner, Va., office.

   /.../

Everything is relative, I suppose...

On the other hand, I've started seeing more and more Python ads
lately.  Guess we're doomed ;-)
