Does anybody know how do we get the top languages now? E.g. “Foobar is the #42 language on GitHub”.

It looks like GitHub removed the old rankings completely. For example, I can no longer see C projects ranked by star count. https://github.com/languages/C/most_watched redirects to https://github.com/trending :(

To be honest, I mostly used those pages to satisfy my own vanity. My C project (https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher) just beat Arduino (https://github.com/arduino/Arduino) and was gunning for mruby (https://github.com/mruby/mruby).

My fragile sense of self-worth thanks you.

The top ten languages are listed on the side here https://github.com/search?q=%22&type=Repositories

edit: The actual number "#42" is gone for now, but will be resurfaced in more interesting ways in the future. (SOON)

Apparently, the highest trending ruby project for the last month is a Python project? https://github.com/trending?l=ruby&since=monthly

This has potential of becoming alternate to Hacker News with NSA and funding related stories filtered out.

That was my first thought. Github's needed this feature for a while and github repos are my favorite thing to find on the frontpage of HN anyway.
