Well if you take for example Linux, which is one of big open
source project out there and I use it, but if you compare
against desktop usage vs Windows, it's what 7% of market?
I'm not saying that TIOBE is reliable or not, but it has some
reasonable numbers like I said above.
Some are shocked because Go language, but most of the time
that I see an article about Go on Hackernews or Reddit for
example, I see a lot of bad commentaries against it. IE:
Generics.

because it's not in any way accurate
e.g,
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoUsers
vs
http://wiki.dlang.org/Current_D_Use
As Bubba says, in what way is it not accurate? You list
corporate usage of Go and D, but his comment wasn't about that.
Also, is there a company like Sociomantic on that Go list, ie
built on the language primarily and externally valued at a couple
hundred million dollars? Of course, Sociomantic could be a
one-off special case and they're still on D1, but a bunch of
corporate dabblers in Go doesn't say much. You'd expect that of
a simpler language that's currently hyped more.
