Good! The JVM is written in C++. I'm glad C++ is on the rise!

> C++ surpassed Java for the first time in the history of the TIOBE index. Wow.

11.94% vs 11.82% The difference in ratings is statistically insignificant? I’m not using either one these days but I’m not sure why C++ would be increasing more than Java. Does this mean Rust is not taking anything away from C++?

  I agree, but it's also important to notice that C++ changes by 4.21%!

Surprised how low JS is on there.

Really hard to take any list like this seriously when they have js at number 7 and Delphi ahead of typescript...

Interesting that the correlation between all of these "top X" lists is pretty weak...

      Each one uses a different metric: search engines, job offers, github projects, Stackoverflow threads... It would be interesting to find one that combines them all!

  I am not saying the list is correct, but we all kind of live in a bubble, last week i met a customer they have 12 dev and all write....wait for it...ColdFusion! On something called lucee. I would have predicted that in 2000-2008 but today?? Well he said they are pretty happy with it, it runs it works..i am happy for them.

How is Ruby lower ranked than Delphi & visual basic!?

The crazy thing is that Java went up a percentage point. The story here (seems to me) is that a bunch of languages are cratering [at least according to Tiobe], not that python,c,c++ or java are growing.
