Rank is number of repositories with that language created in a given year, so e.g., the languages with the most repositories created would be ranked 1, the second most 2, etc.
Source: I ran the query.
- minimaxir 11y agoSo I ran this BigQuery: SELECT repository_language, COUNT(*) as num_repositories FROM [githubarchive:year.2014] WHERE type="CreateEvent" AND IS_EXPLICITLY_DEFINED(repository_language) GROUP BY repository_language ORDER BY num_repositories DESC LIMIT 10 which returns the top languages in 2014 by # of repositories created, per your statistic. The output is: JavaScript 1273811 Java 930359 Ruby 769712 Python 630549 PHP 601101 C 473113 CSS 445501 C++ 355996 C# 183349 Objective-C 165102 Which doesn't completely match up with the order in the chart for 2014. (Positions for Python and PHP are reversed)
