You are right I keep hearing in interviews, videos and blogs people talking about how many stars, please star me etc There is something of a insane competition going on at various levels, people judging languages by their rank on various sources. Saying a specific language is "winning the race". We all know since the 70s that no language is winning ever. Calm down, code in what you like and people around you can use and understand. Create a new language, have fun... Things in life are not always a competition, you can relax.
