• GitHub Languages

    defunkt 10 Sep 2008

    To go along with our new language graphs we’ve added some site-wide language pages.

    First, the top languages in GitHub as used by public repositories.

    And, of course, information on repositories using each language.

    How to get to these pages? Every repository’s “language” graph now includes links to the respective languages.

    We’ll be adding more visualizations and information (as well as stuff like ‘browse by language’) in the near future. For now, enjoy!

    LaTeX used to be a language on your list. What happened?

    What happened to PHP? It was the second biggest language on that post back in June.

    That’s a great feature, but pie charts can be considered information poor. Perhaps a bar chart? http://bit.ly/CtmIn

    @jbapple we’re only measuring turing complete languages

    @mernen we stopped using amount of KB and instead are using projects utilizing it as their primary language

    @michaelbarton except we include a legend, so you are not expected to infer which slice is what size from the visual information alone

    Would love an RSS feed for each of those views so I can know what language is hot and what projects are hot for the languages I’m interested in…

    I would love to see a pie chart based on the number of commits per collaborator and simple formatting on messages. Are you planning these (or have I missed them)?

    @neilcauldwell, that’s in GitChart if you’d like to see it. http://gitchart.rubyforge.org
