 http://www.google.com/trends?q=xslt&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 What's even more interesting is > http://www.google.com/trends?q=xslt+2.0&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 What happened in the first querters of 2006 that forced XSLT 2.0 to drop off the map? As I'd expect, http://www.google.com/trends?q=xslt+2.0%2C+xquery&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 provides proper context as it relates to the two more comparable languages in XSLT 2.0 and XQuery. But, to me anyways, these are the most telling of them all: LINQ vs. XQuery > http://www.google.com/trends?q=linq%2C+xquery&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 LINQ vs. XSLT > http://www.google.com/trends?q=linq%2C+xslt&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 LINQ vs. XSLT 2.0 > http://www.google.com/trends?q=linq%2C+xslt+2.0&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 Verdict: LINQ has kicked XQuery's rear-end, whereas the popularity of LINQ has had no noticable effect on the popularity of XSLT (either version.) Interestingly enough, the same can be said about XPath: LINQ vs. XPath > http://www.google.com/trends?q=linq%2C+xpath&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 None of this surprises me. Food for thought: When MSFT finally wakes up in two-three years and delivers their XSLT 2.0 processor, will XSLT see a sudden upswing of interest? My guess is yes. -- /M:D M.
