Re: RPG - I'm not dead yet!

Ah, yes! The timeline came from judicious use of The Internet Wayback Machine. TIOBE guards their data pretty zealously - you can get the whole dataset for $500, which is a little steep for an article. :) But some of their data is cached in The Wayback Machine. I just so happened to get lucky enough that the caches provided June of 2009. I calculated June of 2010 by using June of 2011 and the plus/minus figure.

Me loves me some maths!

Joe, I like the article. I think your observations are valid, and
your conjectures reasonable. How did you come up with your charts?
The ones on the TIOBE site are much more chaotic (understandably so,
as they track finer timescales, I suppose monthly). Your simplified
ones feel about right to me, judging from my own informal and internal
"buzz gauge" (which mainly consists of reading programmer-oriented
news aggregators).
