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.
