Python and Delphi

[Kristofer Carlson]

I'm curious about the long term trends chart on the TIOBE Programming
Community Index chart at http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm. It shows the
prevalence of Delphi and Python have tracked roughly equivalent usage paths
for some years now. Does anyone know why, or is this just an interesting
but insignificant anomaly?

I tend to accept this as coincidence, not an anomaly[1].

[1] If we call something "anomaly", we should also define "norm" for
purpose of comparison.
