Hello there,
I just re-voted for Lisp in the poll at http://www.linuxdev.net. It
looks like the site reset its internal IP caches. So you can vote
again. Come on, Lisp is a whopping 29.9%, against the distant second
12.1% of C. :)
Looks like the Eiffel crowd got the hang of it as well, but they are
less organized!
I know it's cheating, but what the heck! :)
BTW. This all thing is a monument to Lisp productivity! Lispers can
solve problems so fast that they have a lot of time to spend taking
stupid polls. :)
Cheers

Why? Maybe because it's already a pretty worhtless poll? Don't you
think anyone can be clever enough to do a search on +lisp +(vote OR
poll)?
What puzzles me is why would anyone possibly think it's good and
encourage others to cheat. Even if the IP check was reset, they may run
a (chances are, Lisp) query on the logs sometime later.
Expect statements like "All 117 lispers out there have gotten their
act together and cast their vote. Twice.".

and together developed a cunning CGI script to do this in Python...

Of course not.

Neither am I - just lost patience when it turned out Lispers outnumbered
C'ers 2:1 :-)
By the way, it's puzzling that they neither had a category for Scheme,
nor they specified "Lisp or Scheme", considering Guile.

Scheme is a Lisp
[or you want to go Zen? ("Is Guile a Scheme or a Lisp?") ;->]
