Interesting that Emacs Lisp is way below the line and VimL is way, way, way below the line.
Is it really that people don't have questions, or maybe they have better forums for accessing help -- from emacs.stackexchange.com to emacsWiki to IRC.
Not sure if its a sign of a highly usable language, great community outside stackoverflow or frustration with lack of response from stackoverflow.
- sooheon 10y agoBecause people use those languages for configuration, and Github is hugely popular for storing dotfiles. Configs are forked, tweaked, and reuploaded a lot more than "actual" programs, because popular starter packs and so on get huge followings, and there is a much smaller barrier to getting started playing around with them. Meanwhile, they're not really that complex, and most have other sources of question resolution (inbuilt docs, online communities often inside GH issues), so not much need to go to S/O.
