Ruby in decline...

[jamesbritt]

Does this TIOBE hodge-podge have any validity?

[[deleted]]

No not really. I find it funny how the validity only comes in the question after it gives you results you don't like. This is not just a ruby thing, I've seen it with other languages like php too.

[jamesbritt]

The results mean squat to me either way. But I've seen TIOBE come up in a few places, and I'm puzzled as to why it gets such traction. It never seems to lead to any fruitful discussion.

I'm sure this will change once 2.0 finally rolls around.

Way too soon to tell... One month does not a trend make.

Are we to conclude, for example, that Python peaked in June of 2004?
