Rightfully Boost Clojure TIOBE ranking

[simonelnahas]

Problem:
Right now Clojure is number 33 on the TIOBE index.
To rank well on this index is quite significant in attracting more people to the Clojure community. Personally I have experienced this index being referenced both in university courses and industry conferences.
They rank based on the search query +"<language> programming" in this case +"Clojure programming".
But this query doesn't match with the pages on this Clojurians log. At this point in time a quite significant portion of the discussions being had on Clojure has been on the Clojurians slack channel but this doesn't count towards our TIOBE ranking.

Proposed Solution:
Therefore I propose that we add "Clojure programming" to the title tag for this Clojurians log.

We can see the problem in this search query that only returns 80 results:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aclojurians-log.clojureverse.org+%2B%22clojure+programming%22

This is not representative of the amount of information this log holds on Clojure

This is a smart suggestion, I went through the TIOBE index/rating definition page and I don't see any mentions of us breaking the rules if we do this.

But it still somewhat feels a bit icky manipulating the index this way 🙈, maybe some other folks can chime in!

I think it is only fair.
Right now we rank poorly only because we have chosen to use the word "Clojurians" instead of "Clojure" and that confuses the index, since it doesn't know that "Clojurians" refer to "Clojure".

Another benefit of this is that it will help everyone in Clojure to find search results related to Clojure problems answered in our slack channel.

There's nothing icky about adding "Clojure programming" in the title of a site about Clojure programming. I'm all for this change.

Awesome @plexus, How do we implement it?
