Ask HN: What are the current trends in programming?

Languages, web vs standalone, etc. I'm extremely out of the loop and I'm not sure where to start looking. I've tried looking at the top tags in stackoverflow - c#, php, java - but these don't seem too relevant from what I've seen lurking around on HN.

Another vote for "It's often a matter of where you look and what you read". Like others have said, HN has a slant towards some languages - if you only took thoughts/advice from this site, you'd be led to believe that everyone everywhere uses those languages. That's not the case though - look at lots of sources.

don't suppose there's a great c++11 book that shows that, is there? (seem to have been searching forever for a good, modern c++ book, so sorry if this is a repeat)
