Tiobe's faulty ranking method isn't even reliable. Three years ago Apache Groovy was in the top 20, but six months ago it wasn't even in the top 50. Now it's supposedly rising rapidly again. And this isn't the first time this has happened with Groovy -- it was also in the top 20 in Oct 2013 but three months later out of the top 50. I suspect Tiobe's rankings are being gamed somehow.
