I don't 100% understand. Do they really just look at search engine stats? https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programminglanguages_definition/ https://www.tiobe.

That seems like it's a potentially interesting signal, but the index implies that it is about adoption.
Looking at the index, it seems like Python has a 2.5x higher rating than C and Java. While I assume that Python is a widely adopted language, this feels wrong in many ways.
But given that they just look at search engine stats, one can explain the higher rating, because Python is often used by novice programmers and tech workers who are not primarily programmers/SWEs.
