I have been following the TIOBE Index, a monthly index of popular programming languages, for many many years.
Xojo occasionally entered the top 100, just to drop off again. This month however Xojo has managed to reach the top 50 (first time ever) at position 44, which is a real significant jump. Hopefully this is a positive sign for the language and Xojo community.
good that xojo appear 
but calling some others as “programming language” is total wrong ..
As always, the problem with TIOBE is that it’s not a true indicator of language popularity. It uses search engine ranking so it is, at best, an indicator of how much a specific term is searched. While this may bring a bit more exposure to Xojo, it can also be an indicator of how confusing a language is which results in more search hits.
Good to see Xojo getting exposure, not necessarily an indicator of actual popularity.
I agree… TIOBE is definitely not a definitive ranking of most “popular programming languages”. In fact… I find Stack overflow’s annual survey actually much more informative to get a good view of the software industry landscape.
I would also argue that most programmers uses AI to get answers to technical questions these days (if most of the code is not fully written directly by AI), instead of programmers Googling or reading books to get their answers (which is part of TIOBE’s calculation). As far as I know TIOBE does not factor in AI usage into their ranking equations.
Still nice to see Xojo getting some visibility on TIOBE though, since it is probably one of the oldest raking lists out there.
