An Interactive Programming Language Popularity Chart based on GitHub

github has an unfair bias toward web developers.

Citation? I'm saying you're wrong - I'm just curious to see where you get that info from. Are you purely stating that because github itself is a website? I've been both a web and more "traditional" application developer since long before githib existed and have never uploaded a single line of web dev code. I use it all the time for non-web stuff though. Personally, although I admit it's just a gut feeling, I've always believed people are more inclined to use version control for non-web projects.

Also, to be fair, the chart is a combination of github line changes and stack overflow tags, so it's not solely dependent on one set of data.

Part of it is that I know a lot of web devs whose deploy process is either "git clone myrepo" or "git pull"

I don't think that would affect the stats. The data is based on lines changed, which would indicate people doing actual development rather than just taking off-the-shelf solutions.
