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

That's probably biased towards books
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.
I don't think TIOBE rankings mean much, but C# is genuinely doing quite well.
In the games industry it has become the only language that is commonly used both for entry-level gameplay scripting and for implementing game engines.
It still has a lot of overhead compared to languages like C++ and Rust, but has proven to be a workable alternative for games that aren't straining against the limits of modern hardware.
Wow! This is literally worthless.
