PHP ranks above Swift on Toibe, I should probably use that for writing iOS applications then.
Edit: I guess to make the point crystal clear since there's downvotes, "search engine popularity" is not equivalent to "appropriate tool for the job". Tiobe could equally be viewed as "which languages are hardest to use" or "which languages attract the most newcomers" both of which screw with search engine query rankings.
- jontro 8y agoNot sure how your edit makes your point more clear. The intro explains how it's calculated and how you could use the data that tiobe provides. Personally I wouldn't worry too much about such lists, use it as inspiration to find new technologies. The more languages you know the easier it is to switch when the world around you changes.
- dpark 8y agoThe downvotes are likely for the fact that no one made your strawman claim. “Rust isn’t very popular” is not a statement of its suitability for any particular purpose. It’s a response to the idea that somehow it would have already displaced C/C++ for all security-sensitive work.
