What do you mean unintentionally? TIOBE have always been bald-faced liars who know their methodology is broken, their data useless and who only publish clickbait to get ad impressions.
- Mithaldu 13y agoSo, i've gotten multiple downvotes. Why? Do you wish a detailed explanation of exactly how broken their approach is? Please ask questions. What i stated is merely simple fact and if it is doubted, i will happily expand.
- Terretta 13y agoWhen making an inflammatory statement, perhaps you should have expanded in the first place. Then when you perceived the down votes, perhaps you should have gone ahead with that detailed explanation instead of doubling down with a contentless comment.
- Mithaldu 13y agoIt wasn't a contentless comment. I explicitly asked for questions, because i do not know or understand which of the facts exactly are not understood or maybe even contested. I would still love actual questions to answer, because then i would actually know what specific information to provide. I'm not writing it all down right off the bat, because doing so would mean having to explain basic math principles, as well as soft human issues like how the very name of a language can make it perform better or worse on tiobe. As an addendum: I do not think it is inflammatory if there is no other description of their actions that would be "softer" while also being truthful.
- 27182818284 13y agoI thought you might be new to Hacker News, but it looks like you've been a member for several years. You actually have a higher comment average than I do, so I'm surprised that you're surprised why your comment received down votes. (There wasn't any content in it, and it was not as civil as it easily could have been. )
