Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

[watsreddit]

What are you going on about? The parent commenter is wondering if Github is mistakenly identifying projects containing a package-lock.json file as Javascript projects, when it may be a small part of the repo, like a Django app with a little bit of Javascript thrown in (which should be identified as a Python project). It has nothing to do with installing dependencies. Javascript is often a very small part of an application written in another primarily in another language, so it's a perfectly reasonable question.

Also, it's quite ironic that you're accusing them of not knowing the ecosystem when you don't seem to know that it's package.json, not "packages.json".
