NXT-G Ranked 37th In Popularity by TIOBE

TIOBE Software, the coding standards company, has just ranked NXT-G as the 37th most popular programming language in the world. (Click on the above graphic for an enlarged view of the rankings).
The methodology for their rankings is imprecise, to say the least. But it supposedly serves as an indicator of the increasing/decreasing popularity of particular languages. See a description of TIOBE's ranking methodology

Two things I find particularly interesting: Robolab (with a significant footprint in the educational community) isn't even in the top 100, and NXT-G is within a factor of two of LabVIEW (the "parent" language). That's much, higher than I would have thought!
So, how or why would a normal user looking for help or resources on it search for "NXT-G"?
For that matter, when kids and parents talk to me about the product, before or after buying one, even "NXT" is rarely used. It seems "MINDSTORMS" is the main word they use to describe the kit...
Interesting. But the term "most popular" in connection with this rating may be misleading: it's rather a rating referring to "number of google search requests". I don't think these two things are the same.
Actually, I don't consider this survey very useful: it simply tells us how many people are trying to find information on particular programming languages, for whatever reason.No more and no less.
