The TIOBE index is just reflecting search queries. If someone is familiar with a language, they would be searching about a specific framework, using LLMs/AI agents, and working on projects in that language. Those won't be reflected in the TIOBE index.

- smokel 1y agoThanks for sharing. This probably means that search results that state "<language> programming sucks" or "<language> programming blows" both increase the relevant score in the TIOBE Index.
