Oh wait, it was only missing from the shootout, not the index... no?

I'm not aware of a TIOBE shootout (and I don't see one looking at that page), 
but I believe that it's been in the index all along. It's just a question of 
where in the index it's been. Unfortunately, I don't see any way to look at 
previous charts on that site.

Correct. When I started with D a few years ago it was just missing the 
top 10 on TIOBE ;<

And yes, I know TIOBE is a completely useless index (read that as a list 
of sophisticated arguments you've read before about it rather than a 
single sentence :3)

I disagree that it is useless.  It is interesting on two grounds:

1.  If you have any sort of idea about what they are actually measuring
and are careful no to over-infer, it is a very interesting measure of
what is interesting to people in the Web-verse.  It is a measure of
"buzz".

2.  It is interesting to see how people who have no idea of what is
actually being measured use the results for decision making.  There is
an interesting ebb and flow between reinforcement of the status quo and
promoting innovation.  Also there is the ability to manipulate the
system as Go did last year.=20

Obviously though there are dangers . . .

It doesn't measure buzz.

What are the 'buzz' languages at the moment? Clojure and Scala are both 
definitely buzzing at the moment and generating a lot of interest on the 
web, yet Scala isn't in the top 50 and Clojure isn't even in the top 100.

If you can show me in any way how the programming language "Avenue" is 
buzzing more than Clojure (or is more popular on any measure) then I'll 
be impressed.

It dropped when Tiobe changed the way they counted hits.

And both D and Go win over VB.Net!

I know it is of topic for this group, but since bearophile sometimes talks 
about Ada,
what makes me wonder is why Ada is being steadly growing since 2010.

For some languages it is easy to know why their usage has grown. For example
the Objective-C spike happens around the time the native iPhone SDK became
available. Ruby around the time Ruby on Rails started appearing on everyones
blog.

So what about Ada?

Unfortunely for D, there is still no chart available, but I would say your 
book,
might represent such a spike as well.

I don't know the answer. But people today use Ada (and even SPARK) for special
code where every bug puts many lives at risk.
Regarding Tiobe, it's bugus, your time is better spent doing birdwatching.
