(Originally the issue was titled “TIOBE” and was later repurposed)

I use these sites as part of research for programming languages:

• https://tiobe.com/tiobe-index
• https://tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition

I noticed that Perl is listed, but not Perl 6. I contacted the site runners and received this response:

In order to qualify for the TIOBE index one of the requirements is that you have at least 5,000 Google hits for your programming language. Here is the result for Perl 6: Unfortunately, there are only 4,010 hits.

Here is the link they are using:

https://google.com/search?q=%22perl+6+programming%22

Perhaps this phrase could be placed in some prominent places to get the results up?

Update: since posting this issue it appears Perl 6 has met the requirements, as confirmed by email:

Hahaha. You are right. Unbelievable. Well, anyway I will add Perl 6 to the TIOBE index. Thanks a lot!

However I think we should keep this open until the site is actually updated. I will try to follow up in a week if its not done.

@cup any updates? It's still not in the list, I think.

[ghost]

Its on the list now! Number 93 but still, hehe

Thank you!

Excellent work, @cup .

@JJ should we have a document somewhere like “How to blog about perl 6”? There we can discuss things like how to get your blog posts into http://pl6anet.org/, how to get them mentioned in the weekly, and yes, how to make sure that they count for the TIOBE index :)

[JJ]

We maybe should. Where? Marketing repo?

@JJ what about the docs website? We do have some slightly off-topic pages there, like https://docs.perl6.org/language/modules.

[JJ]

Yep, why not...

[AlexDaniel]

Oops, sorry about the labels, I didn't notice the issue moved :)

[JJ]

@AlexDaniel no problem :-)

IMO, this isn't a topic for the official documentation; I suggest adding a discussion one one of the community based raku/ sites to track this topic.
