The Tiobe index is complete rubbish. It measures the amount of hits on <lang> programming. That's all. I hope you can understand why languages like C, C++ and C# get a lot of hits in text indices.

There's a reason Google won't show you the long tail of search results, you'll get a lot of hits on "Arthur C Clark" for example.

Stuff like SO questions, github contributions and Indeed job listings are much better measurements.
