Go at the 4 place?????? It isn't even visible on the leaderboards of the octoverse

https://octoverse.github.com/#top-languages

Please explain!

I guess that they use a different method and/or different dataset to calculate the ranking. I use Pull Request or Pushes or Stars or Issues per quarter as metric, with the public GitHub dataset on google big query as data source.

Thank you, maybe they use private (commercial) github repositories stats too instead of just open source?

madnight commented 4 years ago

yup, that also may very well be possible
