"Rust is making waves!"

Rust ranks lower than Delphi on TIOBE, isn't used in a single aerospace, defense, or critical application. Ada has been for almost 40 years, is backward compatible to Ada '83, and has a proof subset (SPARK).

Those waves look more like pond ripples caused by a light breeze.

How about, "Rust - now with bigger pond ripples."

Didn't the comment you replied to say specifically the opposite of what you quoted?
If you take the time to read about it, you'll quickly realize TIOBE is pretty bad.
What index do you suggest instead?
To start with, I would try to fix the list here https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defi...

as well as adjust the query for programming-specific engines like GitHub. To have a programming language index not even consider github or stackoverflow as primary sources makes it a laughing stock IMO
