Comment: Really? Make a decision based on that chart? (Score 1) 611

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can be found here.

The chart would seem to indicate that because it's ranked higher those are the skills you should be concentrating on? I don't think so.

T-SQL is near the bottom, yet if you do any MS SQL development, it's just as important as any other language on that list. JavaScript? If you're doing web development, it's just as important to know as T-SQL or C# or what ever your language of choice is.

The statistics are meaningless for making any real decisions about what you should learn or be proficient at.

Brain off-line, please wait.
