JAjajaja,
It's not that Indexes are not trustable... They are measured in a way Smalltalk will never be recognized as popular:
- searches in yahoo - open source projects in some webs - people asking for job
The only one that surprized me is the book's one. But 1) the data is not taken from amazon and I don't know this Powell's Books library :P. 2) It's true that there is a stupid amount of java, c#, c++ books...
i think there is a lot of books because they are very complex ones :) for a smalltalk, you need just one book, and .. whooop .. you know it after few days of study. For C++ or Java it takes couple of months to learn all this stuff..
Maybe we can think a not so stupid index.
Cheers

While pleading for Smalltalk support with a developer from a popular and great IDE company, I got the
following response (below)
Is there anything I can do/show to prove or disprove the popularity of Smalltalk?
According to TIOBE, Smalltalk is as popular as Erlang and more popular than Scala http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html But that's only numbers and I don't trust it :) May be your developer from a "popular" IDE company should define what "popular" means... Laurent

Hello James.
About Smalltalk plugin. Weel, Iâm not sure Smalltalk has a big audience now. Iâve never heard about commercial products based on Smalltalk. Here, some statistics http://langpop.com/
