Rosetta Code/Rank languages by popularity
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Sort most popular programming languages based in number of members in Rosetta Code categories (from http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500)
Output:
1. 246 - Programming_Tasks 2. 203 - Python 3. 201 - Ada 4. 188 - OCaml 5. 171 - Perl 6. 169 - Java 7. 168 - Haskell 8. 157 - C 9. 141 - Forth 10. 140 - Ruby ...

Python
Works with: Python 2.6
<python>import urllib import re
def key1(x):
return int(x.split()[0])
a = urllib.urlopen("http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500")
entries = []
for line in a:
match = re.search('>([^<>]*)</a> \((\d+) members?\)', line) if match: entries.append(match.group(2) + ' - ' + match.group(1))
a.close()
for c, line in enumerate(sorted(entries, key=key1, reverse=True),start=1):
print "%3d. %s" % (c, line)</python>
Ruby
require 'open-uri'
entries = []
open("http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500") do |f|
for line in f match = line.match(%r{>([^<>]*)</a> \((\d+) members?\)}) entries << match[2] + ' - ' + match[1] if match end
end
entries.sort_by {|x| -x.to_i}.each_with_index do |line, c|
puts "%3d. %s" % [c+1, line]
end
