I don't quite know what the leading factor for that change was but it
sure will be great for its image.
I don't think anyone takes Tiobe seriously. Here is the search trend for
"dlang", "golang", "swift ios" and "rust (programming langauge)":

golang and swift are soaring, rust is gaining ground and dlang is stable.
Maybe it's showing different results to you, but the numbers I get are
tiny. Also, picking arbitrary search terms skews the results
considerably. Results using Google's categorization instead:

Those are still the same tiny numbers, though, so there's really not
much to infer from this.
