  So, HN's hate-child PHP is funnier, more beautiful, less ugly and less confusing than sexy JavaScript. Although Python rules them all.

  If you actually look at the details, these terms aren't used in the same context as we might imagine. If there was a way to filter out useless projects, this would get interesting.

  As you said, big grains of salt... It would be probably more helpful if they were normalized by the percentage any particular language is used overall on Github.
