TIOBE Index: Is Haskell finally going to hit the top 20?

L.S., I know the TIOBE index[0] is not very scientific, but it is nice to see Haskell moving up in the TIOBE Index. From tiobe.com: " TIOBE Index for November 2016 November Headline: Is Haskell finally going to hit the top 20? Some people say that Haskell is the most mature purely functional programming language available nowadays. It has quite a long history, dating back from 1990 and its community is growing, although slowly. This month Haskell is only 0.255% away from the top 20 at position 23. Let's see what happens the next few months. " Haskell ranked 34th last month.

The interesting thing is that Haskell is now way above Scala (at 31) in
TIOBE rankings! The redmonk rankings put Haskell at 16 in June 2016 (
http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2016/07/20/language-rankings-6-16/). Of course
they both have different methodologies but as long as they are consistent
in their methodology and Haskell is moving up, its great news.

I share your opinion. More important than the answer to the ultimate life question "is Haskell being used more than assembly is?" is the fact that their sampling algorithm (supposedly) has not changed and Haskell is climbing up.
