Marijuana is still the most popular drug around the world...doesn't mean it is a good thing.

Nice, I just found out that that the TIOBE index is created by a company in the Netherlands. I'm trying to figure out how their chart puts Visual Basic .NET at fifth place.
Stack Overflow puts it in 12th place.
GitHub puts it much lower depending on if you look at PUSH/PULL requests.
I am actually wondering if this is an artifact created by the search term "Visual Basic .NET programming" which is the only four-word search term.
What I find even more interesting is that @Dave-Kreskowiak posted the number of 'results found' and when I use the same search terms I am getting different numbers compared to what he posted.
Here are mine:
+"C# programming" 1,330,000 results
+"VB.NET programming" 234,000 results
+"C#" 95,600,000 results
+"VB.NET" 194,000,000 results
I think this may be happening because of the Google Personalized Search which is basically a Filter Bubble.
So this causes me to question the entire TIOBE index and the methodology they have used.
Best Wishes,

You're mixing terms,
javascript is the most popular language in the world
most popular means liked by more people than any other, nothing to do with documents.
And BTW I doubt that is actually true, while I am sure breathing is the most popular pass time in the world.

No, it mean liked by more people who answered the survey. Which means nothing since most people don't give a damn about surveys; unless they are on CodeProject.

So Javascript is a recreational thing? Whose idea was this? 
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

Just like pleasuring oneself with a wire brush is a recreational thing.

You'd rather have heroine to be the most popular? 
Anyway, coffee is a drug and it's the most popular by far, way more popular than marijuana.
With alcohol probably being a good second, and a way more harmful drug than marijana

Well, I do enjoy it when the heroine wins the day. But if the heroine is found using heroin, then that's sad.

No, that is beer. And in the US, it would be closely followed by (prescription) opiates.
Doesn't mean that is a bad thing either

Would it not have to be a language at all before it would qualify as the most popular one? How about calling it the most common mental illness?

Not the most popular, but the most used.
As was VB6 once upon a time.

Googling for "how many software developers in the world" brings back some article placing that value at 18.2M.
Now consider CP has 13.6M, and that we're mostly Windows developers. And consider the most common language(s) discussed here.
The conclusion I draw from this is to question all numbers people pull out of their asses.

Nothing new.
Back in the 80s someone gave me a book full of pictures like that. Dust mites and things.
That looks like the one in the book.

Hardworking programmer will design the program that his user has the tendency to work with it in a hardworking manner.
Lazy programmer will design the program that will make his user becomes more and more lazy.
Hardworking people prefer do things in routine and disciplinary, but lazy people will always find a method that accomplish the task in less effort way and improve the method.
In other words, you can say that hardworking people are usually dump dumb and lazy people are actually smart and creative.
No offence, if you are both hardworking+lazy at the same time

Someone here has a sig with a quote that expresses your thoughts very succinctly. I think this is it:
Robert A Heinlein: Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
