I've heard of that index before, and I'm skeptical of it. Ruby and Python waning? Not among any of the shops or programmers I know. That's the very definition

I've heard of that index before, and I'm skeptical of it. Ruby and Python waning? Not among any of the shops or programmers I know. That's the very definition of "anecdotal evidence". People working in the Smalltalk community could probably say the same, as the language was dying ("but the shops and programmers I know are doing just fine!"). The Tiobe is far from perfect, but it's better than mere anecdotal evidence. This is about trends and statistics, not something like "my project manager come in today and said he should not use Ruby anymore".
