Mojo in the Tiobe-index
Arguments can be made about the usefulness of the Tiobe index, but the measure of Mojo's popularity in it grew from #184 in Nov 2023 to somewhere in the range from #51 to #100 in Jun 2024 (the index doesn't specify the position in that range).
This is an amazing growth-rate in only 7-8 months, many interesting languages (for example Pony) never made it that far. Mojo certainly has the potential to raise to the range 20-50 (where we will know the exact position) and beyond, we'll notify you when it does.

How can this be boosted? Where are the metrics coming from?
I originally proposed Paul Jansen (the founder of Tiobe index) to measure the popularity of Mojo with his index back in Oct 2023. He answered me in a mail from Nov 26 2023 that Mojo had been added on position #184. In Dec 2023 it had already ascended to #174. I have the original mail correspondence to back this up. How the Tiobe-index is calculated can be found here.

I don't remember the metric they used but I remember it being very silly and gameable.
Fantastic thanks for letting us know @Ivo Balbaert! I shared internally, much appreciated
It is based on querying a lot of search engines, arguably an incomplete criterion. Somehow older query info seems 'to stay in' forever, which could explain why for example Delphi/Object Pascal remains around position 11 already for years. But the top 10 - top 20 ranges agree quite good with what other Programming Popularity rankings post. And of course Python is number 1😄
