Add programming language tags to issues and also show them on the website

This would help people to filter project ideas by programming languages.

Create a set of tags with the same color that looks like language : JavaScript
Show them on the website. (btw where's the website source code, if we want to help?)

Suggestions, ideas are welcomed.

I'm going to argue for a "no" on this one for the following reasons:

There is an ungodly amount of programming languages out there; creating a tag for each and every one would take quite a long time
I don't see why it needs to be specified. Most projects aren't locked to one programming language. If the project is to create a website with a backend; whether that backend is written in RoR/Spring/Flask/Phoenix/etc. doesn't really matter, and should be discussed between the participating members.
If the project is language-dependant, it should (and in my experience) does say so in the title of the project

You can see a quite lengthy discussion regarding this in the linked issue as well.
