The TIOBE index seems to put a strangely large amount of weight on Amazon's search engine results for products for sale at Amazon.

Any results from the search term [LANGUAGE] Programming are a positive influence on the index for the language being checked.

So Rust would get a boost from Ferris products listed for sale if they show up as a result.
