I don't think tiobe is all accurate index of anything. But when you look at the actual rankings, they seem to line up, especially for the mainstream languages.
I could see where Delphi ranks high on the list. "Go" is a little odd. But I was glad to see Clojure get a little recognition. And I am still one of those guys that still considers Clojure as a JVM language.
