I think also the transitions are totally different depending on what decade you started.

I suppose the amount of people starting with C now is massively lower than even 10 years ago, let alone 20 or 30 - so that's where the graph falls flat for me and a lot of people my age who grew up "with the internet" and migrated upwards in this graph (and downwards the stack).

Then again I never migrated, I guess. There are 27 languages on this graph and I've been paid to write 13 of them, read 1 (rewriting from this to something else), used 2 more professionally on a lower scale and dabbled with 3 or 4 on my own.
