@voddan You did it! K

[voddan]

pavel.talanov: we did it, we 😄

[orangy]

Next is Ruby, not too far ahead

[voddan]

A more challenging task is to predict where K will be in the TIOBE index

[orangy]

I doubt it will even enter top 50. +"<language> programming" is the metric, and not much materials are really created despite all the hype.

[orangy]

Well, it can, if it was somewhere near #50 anyway…

[voddan]

@orangy have you tried putting the query into different search engines?

[orangy]

Does it really matter on this scale? I didn’t. But we got like 500 pages last week according to Google, out of 443,000 results, so I doubt a big change in rating here.

[voddan]

If I understand how TIOBE is calculated, Kotlin has rocketed on Googles to the Swift levels

[orangy]

In few weeks we will know 🙂

[orangy]

You seem to be right, I somehow missed a simple comparison to existing languages. If this metric is more or less correct, Kotlin is somewhere between JS and PHP now.

[voddan]

And it keeps going up.... one can imagine the June TIOBE to be Java, Kotlin, C, etc

[voddan]

The only reason I doubt that outcome is YouTube - there haven't been time to create a ton of Kotlin videos yet

[orangy]

Checked other search engines mentioned on TIOBE, it’s not that big there. So I’d not be that optimistic.

[voddan]

Google search promotes info from IO? 😱

[orangy]

May be it just indexes faster? 😉
