Sometime in the past LISP got an increased 'popularity' (i suspect
because LISP natural fit into web services). However, i also noticed
that since some months ago, the TIOBE index for LISP decreases and
decreases and decreases... whereas Python, Ruby, and company increase.

Last December index, Ruby increases ranking by 9 positions to 11th,
Python 1 to 7th, whereas LISP decreases to 17th from 13th.
