The TIOBE index is quite unreliable as it is based only on web searches. They also change their algorithm from time to time, meaning that the historical results are close to meaningless. In general you have to treat all these indexes as amusing sidelines that mean little in reality. You definitely shouldn't use them to choose which programming language to use. That said, two indexes that are slightly more meaningful than TIOBE, in that they at least measure something more relevant, are Redmonk (http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2017/06/08/language-rankings-6-17/) and IEEE Spectrum (https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/the-2017-top-programming-languages). But before you go off approving those I stress again that all of these indexes are amusements at best.
