Amazon (US) is right there, we can try it: "python programming" : 6526 "uxntal programming" : 2 "elixir programming" : 2085 "kotlin programming" : 390 I tried a couple of very new/niche languages like granule/futhark/carbon/jasmin but got either no results, or only obviously unrelated junk. For the languages above I quickly scanned the top result and they looked relevant.

> or only obviously unrelated junk Does Tiobe detect that it's junk/padding or they just scrap the number and take it at face value?

  The latter. That's precisely what they do. I emailed them and verified this.

    That's pretty funny, since the search turned up downright confounding results, like books about programming with an author named "Jasmin". For "carbon programming" I got a ton of books about C, can't guess why, but it's surely not good data. Maybe I'll make a language called "Introduction to" or "Linear" and shoot to the top of the index.
