Bubba.
doesn't seem very reliable
haskell at 39? go at 50?
doesn't even seem remotely close to Google Trend's data for
programming languages, for example

Nobody can measure actual usage, TIOBE seems to be an
approximation of buzz, since they mostly look at search engines:

Look at the big drop for Obj-C they show this year, there is no
way _usage_ dropped 80% in the last year. But with Swift coming
on strong, buzz could certainly have dropped a lot, as many iOS
developers shift Obj-C into maintenance mode and stop buying
books or talking about it as much.
With Android dominating and Java making a comeback on the server,
its rise this year makes some sense. People are writing articles
about Java gaining use again (written two years ago, but I was
surprised to see Java being hyped up again):

As for D, with more talks on youtube and certainly many more
books coming out this year, it likely trended up on the youtube
and amazon search components.
