Re: [Haskell-cafe] Getting Haskell in the top 20

Basically, what you want to do is similar to "link bombing". From experience, one person can - or maybe could - do a pretty good job of this. Put it in your signature line and post to discussion groups that get archived in multiple places on the web - anything that was gatewayed to netnews worked great for this, but that may now be dead. And Google at least has tweaked their algorithms to prevent this. On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 3:42 PM, Alberto G. Corona wrote:

The point is that the TIOBE index doesn't track that stuff directly, but indirectly through mentions. If the items you mention result in more people talking about "Haskell programming" then it will result in a higher index score.

Using the words "Haskell" and "programming" in emails probably helps getting Haskell a few places up, but I think there is much more needed to get it in the top twenty. Things like a GHC backend that produces Java bytecode and/or Common Intermediate Language, commercial support, or Microsoft delivering Haskell in a Visual Studio environment. These are things that will raise much more interest in Haskell in the commercial world, and therefore would also interest more programmers.

Make sure the actual words "Haskell programming" occur in as many

as possible [posts here, on reddit, on stackoverflow, etc]. Not variants of those words, but those exact words. Like you did in your .sig (although that may not be indexed, so it may need to be in the actual text).

Get it into people's phrasing that they always speak of "Haskell programming", not Haskell code, coding, etc, etc.
