It happened!

I have predicted it 1 year ago - the D programming language will become language of choice by the programmers community.

Now let's wait one year for it to reach the #1 place. :)

What does TIOBE mean by giving status "A" to a language?

And for those who are curious what Status "A" means:

'If a programming language has a rating that is higher than 0.7% (yes, this number is arguable but we had to fix it somewhere) for at least 3 months it is rewarded status "A"'.
     (From http://www.tiobe.com/?tiobe_index)

D was rated at 1.205% this month.
The rating has to do with how many hits the language gets on popular search engines.

I wonder how they make sure they're counting the right hits for things like 'C' and 'D'...
