Along those lines:

http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobtrends/trend/q-Scala%2C+Drupal%2C+Erlang%2C+Cobol%2C+Rails%2C+Ruby%2C+Python%2C+php%2C+.NET%2C+Java

Results today (28 Dec 2010):

Since April 2009, the following has occurred:
    * Scala jobs increased 306%
    * Drupal jobs increased 202%
    * Erlang jobs increased 144%
    * Cobol jobs increased 84%
    * Rails jobs increased 79%
    * Ruby jobs increased 78%
    * Python jobs increased 69%
    * Php jobs increased 58%
    * .net jobs increased 55%
    * Java jobs increased 52%

I did a similar check on 9 Nov 2010 and then found:
more simplyhired stats: Drupal +138%, Scala +101%, Erlang +57%, python 
+51%, ruby +50%, Cobol +32%, Java +18%, .NET +8%, php +4%, C++ -24%
(that was http://twitter.com/#!/peter_v/status/2108835443515392)

Which let me to the conclusion that Cobol is growing faster
then Java, .Net, Ruby and Python ...

But the real winner is ...

From simplyhired stats: "Since March 2009, the following has occurred: 
#iPad jobs increased 2,219,844%" (I tweeted that also on 9 Nov 2010).

They seem to have adapted their algorithm and now do not report
divisions by nearly zero anymore ...
