The February TIOBE Index indicates that Apple lost a 10% share in the programming language market by "bluntly replacing Objective-C by Swift". Any ideas to what languages these programmers switched?

“ The other 10% was consumed by other programming languages that appeared to be compilable for multiple mobile platforms. ”

What cross platform languages are people using? JavaScript?

JavaScript seems logical, however, the TIOBE index for JavaScript is pretty much stable between 2% and 4% over the past decades. Shouldn't we have seen an increase in popularity of JavaScript?
