I don't know what is the methodology behind the TIOBE rating but what is clear is that a lot of stuff happens below the radar of the average silicon valley dev.

Most software is not user facing.
- duskwuff 4y agoThe TIOBE index is effectively just based on the number of estimated hits for "$LANGUAGE programming" on Google. That's it. It's not based on actual usage, or interest, and certainly not importance; it's just counting search results. (They actually search on a few sites other than Google, but they're bizarrely chosen -- they include search hits on Walmart and Etsy, for example. And the way they weight search results effectively means that the wildly inflated Google search result counts dominate the ranking.)
