Given that the rankings are based on search query frequencies and that Google
searches seem to be the biggest contributor to the data they use I wonder why
they don’t just do a series of Google Trends searches to come up with the
relative rankings?

Does it give the correct answer for pie? I don’t think the n suffix is for
floating point. I thought it was for expressing bigint type.

Well you know searches could be based on many different
factors. If a programming language does things in such a
way it needs a lot of different examples to really explain it
all and LiveCode allows the user to do it easier then the
search results would not be a good judge of how easy it
is to

It is important to note that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming

Hi.
The "target" tells LC which control received a message. If you had a script in

set the bordercolor of the Target to "orange"
set the showBorder of the target to "true"

Honestly, I would enjoy LiveCode to replace JavaScript and would put this

And, of course, I know, this will not work.
