February 2017 UPDATE! But first, for context - quoting myself from [the original post (Dec 2014)](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/671#3637):
> Get More Sites Mentioning Nim: **I recently e-mailed maintainers of the TIOBE > proglang popularity index about Nim. The response, quoted below, shows the > arbitrary criteria they use**... Quoting their response from 2014: > Thanks for your feedback on our TIOBE index. **We don't track Nim/Nimrod > yet.** The reason is that it is not sufficiently popular yet to justify > adding to our monitor list. Please check +"Nim programming" and +"Nimrod > programming" **in Google. It hasn't reached 10,000 hits yet.** I hope that > this answers your question. And so the [Feb 2017 edition [snapshot]](https://archive.is/hkrqN) of the [TIOBE Index](http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) mentions the following: > **Olaf Buddenhagen and some others wondered why Nim was not part of the TIOBE > index yet. Indeed, Nim qualifies for the index. It enters the TIOBE index at > position 129 this month.** Progress! We'll see if [my prediction](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/2660#16470) about Nim entering the Top 100 in 2018 will hold.
