In my personal experience programming languages donât die, they close themselves into niches :¬)
That said, I donât believe in the TIOBE index, i.e., weighted count of the results from the query «+"language" programming» and some time ago, I tried to do an alternative way of computing an index based on LinkedIn (http://www.di.unipi.it/~nids/docs/linkedin_languages_index.html).
