This looks like commercial ecosystem (Java, JavaScript) migrating to GitHub rather than hobbyist ecosystems (Ruby, Python, Perl) being on decline.

- camus2 12y agosay what? Ruby isnt for hobbyists, neither is Python(dont know Perl).But you just wanted to hear yourself say that didnt you?
- threeseed 12y agoIt isn't entirely untrue. Ruby/Python are more popular in the hobbyist space and less so in the enterprise. Java is the opposite. It shouldn't be seen as a reflection of the platform.
- meepmorp 12y agoDoes the scientific computing community count as hobbyist? It seems to be a significant niche for python these days, largely due to numpy. Also, as another user noted, hobbyist/enterprise is a false dichotomy. There's shedloads of non-hobbyist code that also non-enterprise.
- destron 12y agoYou have set up a false dichotomy here between enterprise and hobbyist.

- The_Double 12y agoI think a large part of the rise in Java code is because of a large amount of open source android projects. (applications and mods/forks of the operating system)
