Rust popular?

Tiobe language rankings for May 2019:

Rust is ranked 34th at 0.335%, below Lisp and Prolog. Go is ranked 19th at 1.114%. C is ranked 2nd at 14.233%

Rust does not have a stable, standard BNF grammar specification. The language reference document for Rust has 33 or 34 unspecified missing language definitions [see "FIXME" sections].

Even if the Tiobe rankings said Rust was popular, it wouldn't mean much. Their May 2019 rankings also say Apache Groovy has risen from #91 to #17 over the past 12 months, which is clearly wrong. Those rankings are being fiddled with via search engines such as Baidu.
