What happened in 2009?
My guess is constant random methodology changes. I was tracking
TIOBE index each month from 2011 till 2016. I remember they
announced changes in methodology in title page approximately once
per 3-4 months. For example, changing the base from 100% to sum
of percentages of all languages(<100%) increased reported % of
each language. Taking this into account means that changes in
particular month tells nothing. The trend is, however, positive:
in 2014-2017 years D stands higher than in 2011-2014 (if you have
faith in TIOBE averages). I see sometimes positive discussions
about D at completely unexpected local tech sites.
Although D's position becomes higher in TIOBE, I don't see
progress in other statistics, for example in github.
