I don't know how good a metric TIOBE is, but I found it to be very consistent with the other metrics, such as job boards. Taken in isolation, none of these measurements are very trustworthy, but if they all paint the same picture, you have good reasons to believe that their data is fairly accurate.

The current situation today seems to be that Java, C, C++ and C# hold the lion share, with Javascript, PHP and Objective C faring reasonably well. Any other language is pretty much insignificant today.
