TypeScript 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reflect colloquial names, and name mentions aren't usage), and it's a misrepresentation of the data (searches include historical documents, which is not a reflection of current usage).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.
