Two things - TIOBE is meaningless. And secondly, Perl is a valid example, but so is Python. After a 10 year painful transition, Python is more popular than ever. It's used more than any other language bar Javascript.
- pjmlp 6y agoNot really, plenty of MBA type managers use it as a measure to allow for language adoption on their projects.
- hota_mazi 6y ago> Two things - TIOBE is meaningless. Pick any other language survey of your choice and I guarantee you it will generally agree with the TIOBE.
- rumanator 6y agoAgree with what? TIOBE is just a vague measure of online chatter. I mean, right now TIOBE's site has a section on how Go, Swift, and SQL are tied. What is there to agree with? I mean, you can add "burrito" to TIOBE and the result would be just as meaningful.
- dgellow 6y agoThat's maybe a good name for a successful programming language :) TIOBE driven design is the future!
- coliveira 6y agoThat may be true about Python, but despite of the horrible transition from 2 to 3. That transition is a source of frustration to anyone who had to maintain code across the versions 2 and 3.
