They're all programming languages, just different types. To my mind "programming language" is a superset. Within that you have statically typed, dynamically typed, scripting...

Now, I know what you're saying, but..
I am. I'm familiar with those applications. And they should be nuked. "Programming" an application in T-SQL is the most heinous crime ever invented anywhere in the galaxy.

Reading the original article, it became clear the T-SQL isn't the most popular but increased it's popularity by the largest percentage over the last year (almost 1%) - that what made it the programming language of the year...

Basicing anything of "percent increase in popularity" is generally nonsense, and good only for hype purposes.
Say product A has 100 users and product B has 3. A year later, A has 110 users and B has 9. A had 10% growth while B had 200%, which sounds good in a press release as long as you ignore the facts that 1) A is still way more popular, 2) A added more users, and 3) A added more users than B has total.

Just right. For that you have to read original article - from that it clear how the title is misleading...

T-SQL does bring a lot to the table (sorry - I'll get my coat)

Bravo!

I was somewhat saddened by an email from Intel to inform us that they are closing the AppUp store! One cannot help but wonder whether they did an adequate job of marketing the store. 
|
|

|
|
I have to confess, I've never heard of it.

I dimly remember some news from a few years back, to the effect that Intel wanted to create a general-purpose app store thing. If I remember correctly the idea was to bring the app store concept to platforms other than smartphones, including of course the PC. But as the captain of the Hindenburg might have said, things didn't quite pan out the way they wanted.

Also first time I am hearing of it.

Never heard of it. Also, why did it even exist? Did the world really need yet an other "App Store"?
BTW, can we please nuke that word. From orbit.

"AppUp" was the formal name of the store, as given to it by Intel. It is perfectly correct to refer to it as the Intel AppUp store.

Yes, I don't deny that. I was referring to "App Store".
|
|
|
|
|
It was.
Now it's "Intel AppOff"
