It\u2019s based on the number of search results for a programming language across popular search engines.<\/p>\n<p>It takes services such as Google, QQ, Sohu, Amazon, and Wikipedia to calculate the results. TIOBE uses \u201c+\u201d&lt;language&gt; programming\u201d query and a special formula to devise these ratings that change every month.
