OT: Those graphs* are interesting in that the spikes for Java/C++ seem to align with fall/spring school semesters, and Javascript tends to invert that pattern and have a spike during the summer (internships? personal summer projects?).

I noticed the same thing and wrote essentially the same comment before I noticed yours. There's also a bit of a peak in Javascript during winter break, which is when some schools do "externships."
