You've said many wrong things on this thread, but the most egregious is quoting TIOBE like is has any meaning whatsoever. It's exclusively meant for managers who have no technical chops. Do you even know what TIOBE measures? Not usage, not sentiment, not search trends. It measures the number of search results that a term returns. So any change to Google's algorithm changes the ranking of a programming language. If Google starts returning coffee results for "Java" that will boost it's TIOBE ranking. Let me give you a few examples of how dumb TIOBE is. 1. You know what's the most popular language by any metric - jobs, Github repos/PRs, stackoverflow stars, survey results? Yeah, JavaScript. You know what TIOBE ranks higher than JS? Visual Basic. 2. Next, you know the entire iOS ecosystem that supports tens of thousands of devs and the billions of dollars in app revenue? All of it is written in Swift and Obj-C. You know what's ranked higher than those two? Assembly Language. 3. You know what almost all new web frontend codebases are written in now? TypeScript. In a few years it'll be the #1 language in the world once it supplants JS. You know it's TIOBE rank? #37, below Scratch, Prolog, Object Pascal. But no, perhaps your confident assertion that Mozilla doesn't use Rust beats this TIOBE nonsense.
