Probably the top 10 names are more or less correct there, but some
funny notes:

33. D
36. Scratch
40. Haskell
42. JavaFX Script
49. Scala

Scratch is an educational tool. It isn't really suitable for any real
world applications. It slows down considerably with too many expressions.

There are several books about Haskell and Scala. Both have several
books on them, active mailing lists, and also very many active
community projects. Haven't heard much about JavaFX outside
Sun/Oracle. These statistics look really weird.

I reckon Fortran is the one to look at it. If Tiobe's stats were
sensible, the Fortran numbers would be solid as a rock.
And ADA ought to be pretty stable too. But look at this:

Laughable.

There was an article in the Ct-Magazin (German) where they took a closer look at this rankings.
For example:
- search for 'C'    you got 3080 M
- search for 'Java' you got  167 M

'Java' only competes with the island Java
'C'    competes with C&A, c't-Magazin, C-Quadrat, C+C, char 'c', ...
       and many many more ....

So, to correct this, only the first *100* (hundred) results are reviewed and the resulting factor applied to the sum of results.
Just look at 1-100, then at 101-200, 201-300 and so on ..
You get complete different factors.

So this numbers at tiobe are really lying!!!!!!
