Re: LiveCode on TIOBE, 2018
TIOBE's definitions are outlined here: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/ Oddly, they don't count Github repos. :/ The bad thing about not including Github is that LC has a growing presence there. The good thing about not including Github is that we're seeing organic growth evidenced across more general search engines, arguably an even better signal for adoption in an audience likely to include many newcomers to programming. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems J.
