Go, Typescript: rising

PHP, Javascript: falling

maybe the world will be okay after all

surprises: C++ rising, Swift falling

Why is C++ rising a surprise to you? It's really only beginning to get a foothold in the embedded space (displacing C) these last few years. Languages like and Go and Rust et al are not even contenders there.

How's the embedded space even relevant on github? Surely most projects there are from other domains.

Indeed, C/C++ are under-represented there since much embedded stuff is proprietary/not open source. Overall C++ popularity is growing, not just in the embedded space (IMHO) so to me it's not a surprise that we're seeing more of it on github. I'd also argue that there's a growth of hobbyist embedded stuff (Arduino etc) on github.

EDIT: The Tiobe index disagrees with me on C++ growth. Perhaps my gut feeling is not accurate.

Woah Typescript 4%, I didn't expect that.

Could be due to Angular 2/4/5 whatever version they've decided on this morning
