Why would you want a list with such godawful methodology? Here's [0] what the TIOBE folks have to say about their data analysis process:

  Since there are many questions about the way the TIOBE index is assembled, a special page is devoted to its definition. Basically the calculation comes down to counting hits for the search query
  
  +"<language> programming"

The only advantage this methodology has is it's extremely cheap for the surveyor to use.
