GitHut – Programming Languages on GitHub
It's what I call an "AHA" piece of statistics.<p>Lots of data right there, and nicely visualised at that, only what it actually means is unfathomable without knowing any broader context.<p>For instance: C++ has the greatest number of opened issues per repository, then comes Rust, then Scala. All right.<p>Does it indicate that they're more tricky than others and hence more bug reports?<p>Or perhaps that projects written in these languages are under more intense scrutiny?<p>Or that people watching these repositories are just more eager to step up and file an issue instead of sulking in silence (a trait of programming culture surrounding these languages)?<p>And so on, and so on.<p>Or it could be one in case of C++, another in case of Rust - since they differ under so many aspects.<p>Wide field for wildest speculations, but no meaningful correlations identified.
