TIOBE Programming Community

[Martin Krischik <krischik@users.sourceforge.net>]

Hello,

Well Ada [1] dropped of the edge and fell down to place 24. Place 20 is
now "Lua" [2]. Note that the TIOBE index not a language index but a
comunity index. Not Ada as a language is measured but our enthusiasm as Ada
supporters.

Also intersting is that - by TIOBE definition [3] - all of the first 20
places (and 21 Logo ?!?) are now "A" level - which again by TIOBE
definition are considered mainstream languages. (I wonder if they are going
the change that definition anytime soon).

About a year ago I observed that the top 5 languages comunities are loosing
ground in favour of smaller languages comunities.

Sad that the Ada comunity could not gain from that trend. Of course we have
been hobbled because of the shift from usenet to more modern platforms like
YouTube. Or Google Blogs - which brings me to an idea - maybe I should
start to blog all my comp.lang.ada posts in Google Blogs.

Martin
