Sigh. TIOBE again.
Things TIOBE believes:
* Visual Basic is more popular than JavaScript
* D is more popular than Lua
* Scratch is more popular than TypeScript
* The popularity of C declined by 50% between 2015 and 2017, and then returned to its previous value in 2018
* Visual Basic became dramatically more popular in early 2020
This is all because TIOBE is based on counting search engine results. It's heavily influenced by changes in search engine algorithms, the "searchability" of language names, and SEO spam -- not necessarily by real changes in the marketplace.
