Re: Lua rises in Tiobe top 50

[askok@...]

Yes, such an index would indeed show wrong, since Lua is 
such a simple language

- it needs less problem solving than huuuge ones
- the solutions have less lines :)
- most of that happens on the List anyways

We can approximate the ratio by Perl book vs. Lua book 
pagecount (say, 5:1).

Already that (0.1->0.5) would raise Lua to top-20, but so 
it might some other languages.
