Would be interesting to see when the percentage will dive right 
down again. If you look at the graph for Go, it had a big hump at 
the beginning of the graph, then tapers off a lot.

Hard to quantify anything, since it is not a measurement of 
quantity -- it is a fractional value of a collection of languages. 
By their measure, even Ruby is steadily sliding downwards... or is 
it just due to a bigger total of hits? Still, TIOBE is a 
convenient gimmick for bamboozling the management to support your 
favourite language...
