[Lazarus] Why the Java became so strong?

[Curt Carpenter]

This is a good question, I think.  No idea what the answer is -- just 
familiar with the TIOBE data.
My guess is that JAVA has more corporate sponsorship -- but I will be 
interested in hearing what others have to say.

I often wonder if there would be any possibility of a creative, 
at-arms-length partnership between Embarcadero/Delphi and FPC/Lazarus 
that would benefit both.

The TIOBE data also indicate a big increase in database activity in 
general.  Perhaps there's a clue there as well?  (It would help to 
explain the recent increases in Delphi use I think.)
