November 2009 Groovy - Grails Job Market

Groovy is back in the top 50 in the Tiobe Programming Community Index, coming in at 47. The numbers are otherwise very anemic, dropping in most measures on Dice and Indeed. Where they did rise, the rise was insignificant.

This is a non-scientific survey. It is meant to give the interested reader a general idea of trends within the GR8 technologies market. Results from keyword searches of job boards should be considered carefully as the results represent the number jobs containing the keyword in the description. The numbers from GrailsJobs represent the total number postings by month. The numbers from Tiobe are pulled from the survey published this month. The numbers from Dice and Indeed represent the results of keyword searches as of the day this survey was published. Suggestions of other sources of job market information is always welcome. Please comment on this blog post with any suggestions you may have.
