Tiobe sells services for curly braced languages. So I am not all that
convinced about Tiobe - especialy after they removed usenet in favour of
youtube. I can understand adding an addition source - but removing an
existing source for which all the scripts are already written. That sounds
like fine tuning the statistic so the right result is reported.
At comp.lang.ada we recently did our own stat which too comes to different
result: http://lang-index.sourceforge.net using similar tests as Tiobe.
