TIOBE also says Delphi/Object Pascal is more popular than Ruby. Also where do you get the "Rise of new languages like clojure" from? Certainly not from TIOBE, it's not even in the top 50, which sounds about right (btw it's not that hard to have 1000% rise if your starting point is like 0.0001%)

> TIOBE also says Delphi/Object Pascal is more popular than Ruby Why do you doubt this? Delphi was huge in the late 90s, and I would postulate that there is a major amount of legacy code still out there.

  Why do you doubt this? Delphi/Object Pascal shot up in the rankings just as Google released Chrome. That's only significant because, at the time, the implementation of Object Pascal on the CLR also had the name "Chrome".
