I don't agree with separation of Pascal and Delphi/Object Pascal, but
usually Pascal mean FreePascal.

It was even worse in past. There were three categories: Delphi,
ObjectPascal and Pascal. IIRC one of members of this forum sent a
request there and they moved ObjectPascal and Delphi together.

Hi,

I prefer this one. http://lang-index.sourceforge.net/

It's open-source and you can create your own stats if you like

My initial request was actually to merge all three as one, TIOBE
claims that separation due to individual entries on wikipedia and
other sources they use. I then said they should separate C, C++ and
Java then, since there are entries for M$, IBM, GNU, etc. versions
that implement the same base language with extensions. Finally they
only merge Delphi and Object Pascal, because what they mean by Pascal
is its procedural only dialect present in the standard. Well, to be
honest, (nearly) no standard Pascal implementation is alive today and
that procedural dialect is still alive in the OO dialect, which makes
the OO dialect an extension over the procedural. So there should be no
reason to separate the two.

The Pascal index there is definitely faulty. Pascal category (without
OOP) should have hardly any votes at all. Every Lazarus application
goes to Object Pascal category...

Personally, I think the main problem is that people take TIOBE
seriously :-)
