Meteoric! Because we all know the the Tiobe index is incredibly accurate.
Would have been nice to see some code examples, rather than just handwavey bullets points that you could write about nearly every up-and-coming programming language.

More importantly, the TIOBE index is just a web noise indicator. A dedicated marketing guy focused on dumping the project's keywords throughout the WWW is all it takes to manipulate the ranking.
Meteoros is Latin and means "to raise up", usually into the sky. Hence "meteorology" which is the study of the sky and "meteors" which are bright lights in the sky.
People don't say "meteorological rise" do they? They're not talking about gradual lifting, or about eyes. They're talking about a meteor. That's a real English word for a real physical thing, which by definition is approaching the earth - i.e. falling. Even if there's some etymological relationship to rising, the dominant relationship between the metaphor and the thing to which it refers in practically any listener's mind is all screwed up. Learn a better phrase, or even better make one up, instead of rationalizing one that's broken.
