Missing Node.js which has 30k stars and 5.4k forks... Second to Swift. https://github.com/nodejs/node
Probably, because Node.js is a runtime environment for Javascript and not a programming language?

#52Funny github doesn't recognise swift as an language, but shows it as c++. Same for PHP, that is shown as C.
Anyone know why ?

It's showing what language most of the implementation is in.

#55I'm surprised that Coffeescript is still actively developed. Either there are still lots of legacy code out there to work on or some people just really love the language.
My last full time job was coffeescript. I could take or leave most of it, but returning to C# for a hobby project has made me really miss the null soak ? operator. I'm sure the craving will go away with a few more days of messing.
Rename it to "Null-conditional Operator" and you're good to go: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn986595.aspx?f=255...

#56Which of these projects has a truly open development process that takes place in public and on Github? Are most (or some) of these developed internally by whichever enterprise is behind the language where developers at those companies "bake" commits and then push them up after going through an internal code review process?
I've had a couple submitted pull requests merged into Elixir. The review process was very quick and painless.
Yes, I can confirm this. Development on Elixir (https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir) is done in the open and on GitHub.

Erlang (https://github.com/erlang/otp) accepts PRs on GitHub, although they maintain their own JIRA instance for issue tracking.

Scala (https://github.com/scala/scala) is completely developed on GitHub with Pull Requests requiring reviews being the only way commits can enter master. Issues are in a separate JIRA instance, although there is currently some experiments about migrating that to GitHub as well. A lot of other processes about the language, such as discussions about language features and their design, also are open on GitHub.
Its little brother Scala.js is entirely developed on GitHub too, complete with language proposals and issue tracking. https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js

#60Is CoffeScript still used much? I used it a bit a few years back when I was more interested in webdev and I liked it a lot, but I haven't really heard anything about it for a while. The only CoffeScript code I've seen lately is when I looked into finding the cause of a bug in a package for Atom several months backend back; I don't think I know of anything besides the Atom ecosystem that uses it nowadays, although I m…
I still prefer CoffeeScript because of its clean syntax.
