The `number of results' printed for a Google query is an extraordinarily poor approximation (it is not much better than a random number). You can get far more interesting and useful results from using the Insights for Search tool: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=0-5-31&q=racket%2Cdrscheme&date=1%2F2010%2024m&cmpt=q I'm not sure that popularity is a useful measure of technology. I'm not sure that `number of searches' is a good proxy for popularity. I'm not sure that the relative number of pages in the Google index is a good proxy for anything. What the TIOBE index therefore measures (if it is indeed a measurement of anything at all) is beyond me. -- ~jrm ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
