Year after year, I've never found the TIOBE index to reflect what I personally experienced in reality. By far.

But I'm not in the US. Can somebody comment about their perception on this index?

Mostly meaningless garbage. The top of the list kind of follows my general awareness of language popularity, but it goes off the rails pretty quickly. Python above VB and JasvaScript seems off in particular. Below that it just gets wacky, Dart above Objective-C for instance.
