- Jesse Phillips (3/4) Apr 25 2014 What do you mean, we're in the top 20! Now's the time to put
- Joakim (6/10) Apr 25 2014 It's interesting that C++ has been declining for the last decade
- Ben Boeckel via Digitalmars-d-announce (9/17) Apr 26 2014 Wow, TIOBE looks even more useless than the last time looked at it
- Dicebot (5/18) Apr 26 2014 Don't forget that it does not only consider new code but overall
- "Ola Fosheim =?UTF-8?B?R3LDuHN0YWQi?= (4/7) Apr 26 2014 It does not consider code, it uses the hitcounters from search

- "Ola Fosheim =?UTF-8?B?R3LDuHN0YWQi?= (3/8) Apr 26 2014 Yep, but that is also what they measure.

I know we don't place much value in TIOBE and it's brethren. However, I thought that this was a milestone worthy of a note anyways. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html -- Adam Wilson GitHub/IRC: LightBender Aurora Project Coordinator

And let's talk about numbers : March 0.744% April 0.708% Change : +0.39 I just don't understand how they make their calculations.

They claim 90% confidence, but I think that is misleading.

Mobile has driven Objective-C use and will drive the next big language, a good opportunity for D given its efficiency and relative ease of use.

Is TSQL really "more popular" than Perl? I wonder how much "oh dear, I need help with this" is conflating these ratings. I mean, many (well-intentioned) projects are targeting printers as their platform (at least via the paper tray). Almost certainly not more than all of Scala, Go, and Haskell. --Benhttp://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.htmlIt's interesting that C++ has been declining for the last decade and especially the last year, with C and Objective-C taking its place at the top for compiled languages.

And amount of legacy code in weird languages is still huge.

I think it was below the top 50 at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, it is certainly good news :-).
