The TIOBE index is a joke and we should stop giving it any credibility. What they do is they simply count web search results for each language, and that number means just about nothing, including the language popularity. And you should never use the index in making any decisions. Unless you're going to rewrite your #Rust, #Golang, or #Swift app to Scratch (which is, according to the index, more popular and growing).
