Es que los de corbata y traje son los que "piensan a lo grande" y tienen "the big picture" en la cabeza a un nivel que los programadores de apie, pobrecitos, son incapaces de ver.
TIOBE Index for June 2017
June Headline: Programming language Kotlin jumps into the top 50
The programming language Kotlin is the hot new thing. Three weeks ago Google's Android team announced that Kotlin is the third official programming language for Android besides Java and C++. As of Android Studio 3.0 there is full Kotlin support. Kotlin has been developed by JetBrains, the company that is known for its very popular programming environments. Just like languages such as Scala, Clojure and Groovy, Kotlin compiles to JVM code, thus being compatible with Java programs. The mixture of expressive power and compilation speed might be the key antiestéticatures of Kotlin to succeed. Apart from Kotlin, Hack and Rust are moving up in the top 50 as well.
The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. It is important to note that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.
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.

TIOBE Index for July 2017
July Headline: Go language at all time high and in the top 10
The Go programming language continues to rise. This month it is at an all time high and enters the top 10. This is an important landmark for the Go programming language, but it also makes you wonder what's next. Is Go really able to join the big stars in the programming language world and leave languages such as JavaScript and Python behind? We will see. The hipster programming languages Kotlin, Elixir and Hack didn't progress much this month. Kotlin lost 5 positions, Hack lost 6 positions and Elixir is still not in the top 50 losing also 5 positions.

Mejor es preguntar cuál la semejanza: las cuatro letras que comparten en el nombre y que ambos usan el paradigma imperativo. Ya.
Quiere decir que faltan lenguajes que han pasado de marginales a tener más presencia: Go, Rust, Swift, R, SQL, Ruby... y otros lenguajes nuevos que con pequeños porcentajes van restando enteros a los grandes: Haskell, Erlang, Kotlin, Scheme, Lua, D...
