Refining the searches:

RDF -filetype:rdf                  5.9 million
Java -coffee -Sumatra         55.7 million


Comparing with Google data from November 2003 (below),

- Perl, COBOL, SQL, FORTRAN, Visual Basic are down
- Java is up

There are some significant differences in trends reported on that page vs. these
numbers from an August 2003 survey
http://www.webservicessummit.com/Trends/ComputingTrends_part2_files/slide0241.htm

That page reported C in fifth place, significantly behind Java and Visual Basic.

The TIOBE data shows C as being on the uptick and in first place.
It's worth noting Google reports 18 million hits for either of these searches:

c programming -tv
"(c)" programming -tv
