The Index is about *current* popularity and if no advocate for L is
there to hack the index then L is not popular. Might be sad news for L
but that's the way it is.
And this is true for L=Ada as well, hence my reminder.
Note that even Tiobe once mentioned a language community which had a
plan to increase there ranking.
