I simply can cite the popularity index, i do not know how accurate it is.
Maybe TIOBE methodology is good enough, maybe it is not. However, without
detailed analysis i may accept it.
From an academic point of view I can say that Matlab 'is' taught in almost
any enginnering course here. With basics of Mathematica/Maple being
obligatory in certain scientific courses (e.g. advanced chemical
thermodynamics). Whereas nothing of XSLT.
Programmers? yes, they learn XSLT togheter visual basic, C Java -lots of
Java-. Logo continue being very very popular for educative purposes.
Academia cannot be representative of rest of community but maybe TIOBE
methodology is accurate enough after all.
