Google now lists the number of recent posters for each forum in the "about
this group" tab:

comp.lang.functional:     116
fa.caml:                  106
comp.lang.lisp:            97
fa.haskell:                86

I find it interesting that the number of posters on functional programming
is similar to the number for mainstream languages:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp: 104
comp.lang.c++:                            102
comp.lang.java.programmer:                 86

The growth of the number of installations on major distros like Debian and
Ubuntu is also interesting. This month has seen ~3 new registered installs
of SBCL on Ubuntu every day!
