   11. Ruby                 1.494% -0.29%
   12. Delphi/Object Pascal 1.245% -0.93%
   13. Lisp                 1.175% +0.11%


Lisp is growing and Ruby is going down fast. So, what are you waiting to learn the best language ever created?
Imagine a world where Lisp is the dominant language. The software would be years ahead of what he have now.

tiobe's ranking methods are extremely shit. people should stop linking to them, imo.
