D made the May headline on Tiobe: "Programming language D suffers sharp
fall". You can say that again, D went down 5 places, to below languges
like RPG(OS/400) and ABAP!
D's loss seems unbelievable. D now has a 0.628% share, which is even
less than what it's lost (-0.82%) in the last 12 months. What could be
the reasons for it? Is it even possible to figure out any reason??
Can this loss induce people to abandon D, and others to not take it up,
leading to cumulating losses in the coming months? What do we have to do
to prevent this?
There was a small drop last month, and a note saying that hits for
DTrace had been eliminated as false positives for the D Programming
Language. If it had been possible for DTrace to be such a false
positive, I am curious about what other false positives could be
effecting other languages, but I definitly think it is a blow to the
index's credibility.
