I'm guessing this a list of the different languages being used in commits displayed in real time ?

  yes :-)

    Suggestion: Scale images based on commit size (additions + deletions) :)

There is a small bug in the generation of #container .bucket IDs. Languages named with multiple words (i.e. Emacs Lisp) get an invalid ID.

I'm really surprised at the huge lead Javascript has. I'd have thought Python and/or Ruby would be king, with PHP and maybe Java following up.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago
  I suppose it's because, whilst there are a wide variety of backend languages, JavaScript is the primary frontend language, at least for the web platform. Edit: Or perhaps it's because JavaScript is finally becoming more popular, despite being old. Lots of new libraries and applications are being written in it.

    A co-worker of mine postulates that most of this is client side Javascript, I'd be awfully curious to see how much of it is client side and how much is node.js and the like.

After a while, the number of languages becomes quite large so they resize text and icons so that everything fits on the page, at least horizontally. The problem with that is that the language name then becomes too small to be legible. It's useless to change the zoom level of the browser page/tab, either. The page seems to insist on fitting everything.
- robashton 14y ago
  Have you a suggestion of how to resolve this? I thought maybe cap the scale and allow scrolling of some sort - and maybe to allow a max number of items on the page at any time (culling the oldest)

This is a pretty neat idea, well executed - it took me a minute to realize what was happening when nothing displayed for a few seconds. Sidenote: instead of shrinking the list to the left (it becomes a little harder to read as languages are added), you could wrap them more fluidly with Isotope (http://isotope.metafizzy.co http://isotope.metafizzy.co).

  I thought about doing some tiling ala isotope, but really wanted a bar chart to form (this is related to some work stuff that I want to try out)
