 #22 was not good enough. :) Being in the first 20 is what matters as new
 programmers who visit TIOBE out of curiousity may become interested in D
 when they see it in the list. Everything below 20 is more/less
invisible to
 the common visitor there...


 If anyone really *did* use TIOBE as a measure for language success,
 you may find me doing this to them.

 Lots of managers and HR departments do.


Which explains why I fish slap a lot of HR staff. :-)

Or that could just be HR in general...

Wow, D is at #18 now, the biggest jump of any top-20 language 
since last Jan, except for F#.  Either D had a great year or 
their new algorithm really favors D, maybe both.
