GitHut – Programming Languages and GitHub (2014)

Comments

miguel_martin•2mo ago
Why are Nim, Odin, Zig, Mojo not included (and probably many others)?
some_guy_nobel•2mo ago
Probably because this was made in 2014 :D
stu2421•2mo ago
Nim is on the list for Stars in 2024 quarter 1.

GitHut 2.0: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1

jtwaleson•2mo ago
Would love to see an update to 2025
tonyhb•2mo ago
I really, really want this updated too and saw it in my bookmarks. Figured the historic data was interesting, and that someone might want to give this another go.
kleiba•2mo ago
+1. This has historical value but 11 years are eons in IT.
etyhhgfff•2mo ago
Here you go: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1
johnisgood•2mo ago
Nix is 11st, and Rust is 13rd, and C is 9th. Interesting!
akerl_•2mo ago
The connectors are interesting, but I wish there was a way to sort by a column and have the rows be actually linear.

Also, worth noting that it looks like this data only covers 2012-2014?

kodablah•2mo ago
I think correlating "pushes per repository" to certain languages is interesting. The top "pushes per repository" are C++, TeX, Rust, C, and CSS. I guess it's no surprise many would also consider those the most guess-and-check or hard-to-get-right-upfront-without-tooling languages too.
IshKebab•2mo ago
Really? I don't think Rust is like that because it has such strong compile time checking. More likely because Rust 1.0 hadn't even been released in 2014 so by definition every Rust project was extremely new and active.
kodablah•2mo ago
Yes, maybe the causation assumption here is inaccurate.
Etheryte•2mo ago
It's unclear if that's the takeaway here. Pushes per repository can just as well indicate a project that's just old, or active, or popular, or etc.
ivanjermakov•2mo ago
Would be fun to weight each language by average number of stars, but normalize by repository count.

Data analysys without adjusting groups by popularity is a bit lame.

clircle•2mo ago
What statistic are you proposing? Number of repos / avg stars ?
ivanjermakov•2mo ago
Just average stars by language would be fun.
ethmarks•2mo ago
Absolutely stunning and ingenious visualization, but disappointing data. In 2014 there were 2.2 million repos, while in 2025 there are closer to 500 million. The repo was last updated seven years ago, so I assume that this project has been abandoned.

A cursory glance at the source code[1] reveals that it's using GitHub Archive data. Looking through the gharchive data[2], it seems like it was last updated in 2024. So there's 10 years of publicly accessible new data.

Is there any reason we (by "we" I mean "random members of the community" as opposed to the developer of the project) can't re-build GitHut with the new data, seeing as it's open source? It's only processing the repo metadata, meaning it shouldn't even be that much data and should be well under the free 1TB limit in BigQuery (The processed data from 2014 stored in the repo[3] is only 71MB in size, though I assume the 2024 data will be larger), so cost shouldn't be a concern.

I'm not experienced enough to know whether creating an updated version of this would take an afternoon or several weeks.

nightpool•2mo ago
Apparently someone worked on it, but (IMO) the visualization is a lot less nice compared to the original: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1
flymasterv•2mo ago
GHArchive is updated constantly, but the tables reflect COMPLETED time periods. So there’s no yearly/2025, yet. You have to look at the monthlies.

Source: just left GOOG after 5 years on the GitHub tooling team.

steveklabnik•2mo ago
As noted, should be (2014).

There is also GitHut 2.0: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1

This updates through 2024.

nightpool•2mo ago
Interesting to see the number of JS pushes go down significantly, but actually realize that it's just because many more projects are using TypeScript:

threatofrain•2mo ago
The library space converged to TS far faster than the rest of the JS world. Also interesting to see the sharp rise of Go.
oceansky•2mo ago
If you sum both, it's 17.204%, which would place it at the top.
fuzzythinker•2mo ago
No usability consideration at all. Yellow on grey (top curve's) is unreadable.
philipwhiuk•2mo ago
Created https://github.com/madnight/githut/issues/122 with a possible CSS rule fix.
chromehearts•2mo ago
Wish it would look exactly like the first version
dgan•2mo ago
Definitely a worse design, curious what was the reasonning
into_ruin•2mo ago
This may be a stupid question, but if most iOS apps are written in Swift, why isn't Swift more popular? Is it just because most Swift projects aren't FOSS?
philipwhiuk•2mo ago
Swift was only just released in September 2014

> 80% of new developers on GitHub use Copilot in their first week

I am not sure how honest this statement is. I remember typing something in an input which I thought was search, but no, it was AI search or something like that. Free copilot got activated on my account simply by submitting a search query. Statement may be technically true but it's target audience are investors and maybe higher management (someone is getting a raise or a bonus), not actual developers.
