It wasn't a serious comment. I thought it was obvious from the tone. > But if you ran such an analysis across public GitHub repositories per-language and wrote the results up in a blog post, I'm sure HN would love to see it. I'll see what I can do. I do have some repos in sight that could be used for it. But even then this won't be as straightforward as you say since different languages have different applications (eg cpp for games, julia for scientific computing). This would require writing the same code in both indexing patterns and then comparing them.
