When viewing the per-language leaderboard with All Holes > Haskell it shows different scores than when viewing All Holes > All Langs:

The weird thing is that the score is actually lower in the All Langs tab, for example my own score shows up as 1151 whereas it is 2168 on the Haskell tab. The same thing happens on the user page https://code-golf.io/users/{user}.

From what it says on the about-page, these two values should align in the case a user only uses one language.

The total rank is correct, the about page is not. Total rank is basically the same as language rank, discounting language (so it essentially treats all solutions as the same language). Therefore, if you use a less golfy language, you will have a lower score when comparing across all languages.

@somebody1234 I agree, perhaps we should get some new language on the about page to that effect. If anyone wants to suggest said language, or file a PR ;-) I'd be happy to accept.

I'm closing this in favour of #112, that's the next big ticket item and since it completely changes how scoring works, the confusing language will also be rewritten.
