Which 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?

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...

> In the Top 10 there are only two languages which are not self-hosted. I don't think that is true. Ruby is written in C, Elixir is built on Erlang and Clojure is built-on Java. In fact the only two I know for sure that are fully self-hosted are Crystal and Julia.
Elixir has a little bit of Erlang in the compiler but at this point it would be fairly trivial to replace it with pure elixir, and most of the compiler is elixir already. However, Elixir does compile down to the EVM/BEAM (Erlang Virtual Machine) without using Erlang as a go-through. I'd argue that Elixir is 'mostly self-hosted'.
