Perhaps also consider GitHub's list of most popular languages
  http://github.com/blog/99-popular-languages
(as mentioned in Petr 'Pasky' Baudis somewhere in git-scm.com thread)
to take into account git popularity among web developers.

This would add 'ERB' (or is it just subset of 'Ruby' as eRuby
implementation?), and 'Common Lisp' (if 'Common Lisp', then
probably also 'Scheme'/'Guile'). 

There is always free-form 'other'...
