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.
