I can't say why those have jumped up like they have, except to say that 
maybe it had something to do with TIOBE revising their query(ies) a 
while back.

I think both Cold Fusion and Foxpro still get some pretty heavy use out 
there - I suspect there's *a lot* of legacy applications still in use, 
and a lot of independent developers (CF) and small software shops 
(Foxpro) using them. Foxpro inherited a lot of the Dbase development 
back in the day. One just never sees them mentioned in IT magazines or 
taught at Uni. any more.
