To provide an answer to the question "What are the ten most used programming languages?" #44

We need to implement and test the features required to use Groundhog to answer the question in the title of the issue. We then have to use it to actually answer the question.

Hmm,

is this question targeted at some specific situations? Like "what are the ten most used langs by an user?"?. Because if it is in respect to GitHub in general, we can refer to this https://github.com/languages

fernandocastor commented 11 years ago

Depends on the criterium. That would be correct for lines of code. What about number of projects using each language? What about number of commits (assuming we can know which languages were affected by a commit)?

dnr2 commented 11 years ago

Yes, but which of these criteria are we going to explore? One specific or all of them?

fernandocastor commented 11 years ago

What if we target all the candidate criteria? BTW, what are the candidate criteria?

rodrigoalvesvieira commented 11 years ago

I have a suggestion:

What are the ten most used PLs per organization?

Let A be a company/organization, analyse all projects of A and get the ten most used PLs among them

fernandocastor commented 11 years ago

But that still doesn't solve the problem of defining what "most used" means.

fernandocastor commented 10 years ago

Ok... but what are the languages?

rodrigoalvesvieira commented 10 years ago

Found a bug in the implementation. Will reopen. Later on I'll provide more information
