TIOBE programming index: Free Pascal is a new separated entry

[Leledumbo]

Previously, I posted the good step taken by TIOBE to combine Delphi and Object Pascal. Today, I open the site again and got shocked with a new entry (51 - 100) called Free Pascal. Damn... now we have Delphi/Object Pascal, Pascal and Free Pascal as 3 separated entries... 

I wonder if they'd add Lazarus someday as the 4th Pascal entry...

If I'm not mistaken, they didn't even mention Pascal or any of its dialects?! Yet they even talk about COBOL and FORTRAN...

Actually, this is good knowing that Free Pascal is really recognized, but the separation is a real Pascal family destructor. Don't they know that MSVC is in many parts incompatible with gcc/g++? Yet they group them by language, not implementations...

I don't know what jobs require Fortran (besides scientific fields, which should actually already be taken by MATLAB and its clones), but COBOL is mainly used to maintain old programs. None that I know of for writing new ones, somebody would mention ABAP instead.
