Notice how highly "Visual Basic" places in the index. This is silly because if you've looked for a technical job using the conventional avenues (you aren't a demi-god fending off job offers left and right) recently you'll know that no one uses pre-.NET Visual Basic anymore. Most .NET shops use C#. VB.NET is not a popular programming language in professional software development. The reason it's there is because there's tons of legacy content from the late 90s and early 2000s before everyone switched en masse to C# or Java. Really the TIOBE Index is pointless and just serves as a way for people to come up with phony "numbers" that lend credence to what they want to believe.
