You think your line of business is web apps. It's not. You business is making tools for people. Either via web app, or whatever new tech comes along.

So pretending any language that can't be used on a web server does not exist is not a good idea.

Specializing in certain languages is OK obviously, but don't start thinking the others "don't count".



So how exactly should I deal with VB and Delphi? In what way do they count for me?


Are you seriously saying that since VB and Delphi don't count for you, they should not be included on the TIOBE index?


No, I am not interested in the TIOBE index. But it was used in the article to show that Perl is losing relevance. I just felt it was not a very significant indicator for that particular conclusion.
