I started getting suspicious at the slide where (s)he claimed
that 9.3% of the world's software uses Objective-C while 9.1% of
the worlds software uses C++. Thats a lot of people writing apps
for iPhones....
I find that hard to believe, and I don't think that is what TIOBE
is even claiming to begin with. Looking at the current index I
wonder how much stock you can put in those rankings anyway.
