C# has jumped from 0.77% in Mar 2020 to 4.75% in Apr 2022. One month, 6x increase.
Even if you just take relative rankings, they're also total nonsense: TypeScript is 40th, behind Prolog, Visual Fox Pro, Dart, and Rust.
- taylodl 4y agoYeah, that's why many people treat everything beyond the top 25 as noise. There's a lot of churn there.
- pornel 4y agoTypeScript is the 8th most popular language according to Redmonk. TIOBE has issues even in the top 10, and +/- 60% errors bars on their top 2 language! It's not a problem of noisy data for the long tail languages. It's just wrong data. It's a poor unstable proxy (subject to proprietary query interpretation and anti-spam algorithms that vary over time, query terms don't reflect colloquial names, and name mentions aren't usage), and it's a misrepresentation of the data (searches include historical documents, which is not a reflection of current usage). It's all noise, no signal.
