This paints a very different picture: https://github.com/languages https://github.com/languages
edit: I realize this is measuring something different, but it suggests that the reports of the decline of Ruby and JavaScript could be wrong.
- CJefferson 16y agoThere are two major problems with this: Any project which has html documentation, which contains javascript, gets counted as javascript. git and github in particular seem very popular in some communities (ruby is a good example) and less so in others (C++ comes to mind, as one I am familar with).
- steveklabnik 16y agoGithub tries to alleviate some of this, but they're not great at it yet. They've said in the past that they discount the existence of well-known JS frameworks like jquery.
- alxp 16y agoBitBucket seems to have a lot of Python projects hosted there which might take a chunk out of Python's share on Github.
