This is because Rust is a very young language, and C and C++ are very old. Number of projects on GitHub is more proportional to language's age than to it's current popularity. To check popularity we have to take a first derivatve of these numbers over time.
Thanks for the lunk though, it does shows some interesting stats.
- lillesvin 7y agoI don't think age is that much of a factor because TypeScript also places higher than Rust and is two years younger, not to mention Go and Rust are only a year apart but they're pretty far apart on the chart. More data here: https://githut.info/ https://githut.info/

- SergeAx 7y agoYou may think of TypeScript as a modern dialect of JavaScript. I don't think it applies to pair Java-Kotlin though.
- lillesvin 7y agoBy that account isn't Rust then a modern dialect of C++ and Go of C?
