Here's a snippet from the website:

"The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of
programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are
based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third
party vendors. The popular search engines Google, MSN, and Yahoo! are used to
calculate the ratings. Observe that the TPC index is not about the best
programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been
written."

For the month of Rpril, C is at the top followed by Java, then PHP, then C++.
