Their language of the year award seems like it's solely based on increase in popularity this year (wouldn't that be biased against more popular languages?). >

Their language of the year award seems like it's solely based on increase in popularity this year (wouldn't that be biased against more popular languages?).
> For the first time in the history of the TIOBE index, C# has won the programming language of the year award. Congratulations! C# has been a top 10 player for more than 2 decades and now that it is catching up with the big 4 languages, it won the well-deserved award by being the language with the biggest uptick in one year (+1.43%). Runners up are Scratch (+0.83%) and Fortran (+0.64%).
Still, well deserved. C# has been steadily innovating for a long time while Python, Go and Java move relatively slowly. In terms of syntax innovation only JavaScript has been at a similar pace it seems.
