I have found one of the several voices that reminds us of the

Bye,

I started getting suspicious at the slide where (s)he claimed
that 9.3% of the world's software uses Objective-C while 9.1% of
the worlds software uses C++. Thats a lot of people writing
apps
for iPhones....
I find that hard to believe, and I don't think that is what
TIOBE
is even claiming to begin with. Looking at the current index I
wonder how much stock you can put in those rankings anyway.

While I am at it, I should point out that 3 of the top 5
languages according to TIOBE are static. Not that I put any
stock in what TIOBE claims :o)
And #5 is everyone's favorite PHP (for October 2013)!
