And they have C as number one? Visual Basic ranked higher than JavaScript? Groovy (!?) higher than Go, Swift and Ruby? R higher than SQL? What a joke the TIOBE

And they have C as number one? Visual Basic ranked higher than JavaScript? Groovy (!?) higher than Go, Swift and Ruby? R higher than SQL? What a joke the TIOBE index is.

There are a lot of CPUs in embedded applications, far more than the number of PCs and smartphones, I would expect most of the embedded stuff to be written in C.

  Do you believe more devs are working on embedded apps than web apps in 2020?

There are frequently weird things happening with the Groovy rankings in the Tiobe index, and I doubt this is accurate. That said, purely as a language (ignoring the ecosystem) it's probably nicer than Python, and I say that as a primarily Python developer.

I am also surprised that JavaScript is ranked so low.
