I
find it impossible to believe that the
TIOBE indexes are accurate. How could it possibly claim that
Objective-C is ranked lower than
ABAP,
Euphoria and
Ch? There's just no way that's true. (Perhaps Objective-C has a peculiar problem about how to disentangle straight C code from Obj-C?)
I could see
MOO and
Oberon being way down the list, but there has got to be more
Mathematica and
Maple code being generated at schools and universities than this list could detect. I could pay $1500 to see their dataset, but I'm more curious about where they cull their data from.
