The tiobe index always seems to be way out of line with the other indices out there. Nobody but tiobe ranks VB.net above c#. Also the other day I read that Lazarus isn't taken into account in terms of assessing the popularity of object Pascal, because Lazarus is an IDE, not a language.
Tiobe also seen to be constantly tweaking the methodology such that if you look back at historical rankings they can be totally different to the rankings for the same period that were reported historically. Which is verging on the dishonest. It would be like a tipster going back and revising his tips after the fact.
- oaiey 7y agoMicrosoft own "statistics" claim million of C# devs, 100ks of VB.NET devs and 10ks of F# devs. Tiobe is strange. Either they blend all Basic together (legacy code bases) or something more stupid happens :)
- staffanj 7y agoIts not strange. Just a result of bad input. Search for: +"C# programming" - 2 340 000 results <- USED +"Visual Basic .NET programming" - 17 000 000 results <- USED +"C# .NET programming" - 26 600 000 results.
- oaiey 7y agoOkay. So it is "more stupid happens" :).
- Doubl 7y agoSo is c# the new vb6 then!
- oaiey 7y agoThat would break my heart.
