The number of projects using javascript as the primary language seems odd. I am not sure how they determine the primary language, but does anyone else think it may be skewed (larger) since many projects host their javascript libraries and often in both minimized and dev formats?
- kneath 16y agoWe ignore libraries. People consistently underestimate how much Javascript they're writing. Most modern web apps are (rightfully!) Javascript projects.
- andrewvc 16y agoI've seen github count jquery other libs as javascript several times. There's no real solution to this as far as I can tell, since JS libs just can't be required like other libs.

- technoweenie 16y agoWe ignore a lot of paths when we count lines of code: https://gist.github.com/933716 https://gist.github.com/933716. Put your stuff in sensible directories, and you can minimize bad guesses. I believe we inflate coffeescript scores, so that repos that include the compiled javascript show up as coffeescript.
