Great news!, I think... note that the TIOBE rating is based on lines of
code written, not popularity.
I'm not fond of metrics based on lines of code written. Since LiveCode
packs so much power into a single statement vs the number of line of
code it takes to do the same job in most other languages, I'd think that
we're actually much higher in the standings than a simple quantitative
statistic would indicate.
What did we knock out of place to get there? I see we're only 0.001%
above Crystal, whatever that is.
