Not exactly a valid comparison. A business does care if there is a pool
of developers to develop and maintain their project; in fact, in my last years
as a VFP dev, that's the main obstacle I faced: the lack of available VFP devs
to take over after I left.
While Tiobe is a pretty bogus measure of language activity, it is still
important that if you are committing yourself and your business to a language,
that you can safely assume that there will be developers who still use that
language in years to come.
