While you could do much worse for a measure of popularity, some languages are popular, but dont have a huge open source community. For example, Objective-C and C# are both probably higher in reality.

Because it's not popular. People use Objective C because iOS is popular, not the language.

  There's no evidence that the GitHub list is comprised only of entries where the developer chose the language because they truly enjoyed or liked it. The only reason that Javascript is at the top is because of the Web's popularity in my opinion. Personally I've seen many, many more people say they enjoy C# and think it's a well-engineered language than I have seen for Javascript. Then of course we have people who choose languages based on their ideology.
