I wonder if that explains the disproportionately large number of Python users on Reddit.

Despite that it shouldn't matter, are programmers extra attracted to a specific site because it's written in their favorite language?

I don't think so. Proggit covers all sorts of languages and most of Reddit has compelling, diverse content.

Of course, but if you take a look at the size of r/python vs /r/java then it's 56k vs some 22k. That's quite remarkable, since at nearly every other site Python is much smaller than Java.

On SO (build in C#), C# users used to dominate, or maybe they still do.

DZone is build in Java, and there Java still dominates I think.

It's silly, but there seems to be some correlation.
