Sharp dip for Go, and sharp peak for C++?

("Nim" does not seem to be present as an option.)

Yes, this is common issue there, but if you look at it nex month it would be ok, I am not sure why this happening.

OK I guess the issue is with not all current data are process yet. So they have statistic for D, for C++ but not for Go, so because it is in percent and there are data only fo few languages it would seems like there are peeks and dips

Ok, so OpenHub is flawed for 2019, but from 2016-2019 we can see that for Ada, Vala, HaXe and D there has been stagnation. For Pascal there has been a decline and for OCaml growth:

https://www.openhub.net/languages/compare?utf8=%E2%9C%93&measure=contributors&language_name%5B%5D=ada&language_name%5B%5D=crystal&language_name%5B%5D=dmd&language_name%5B%5D=-1&language_name%5B%5D=ocaml&language_name%5B%5D=pascal&language_name%5B%5D=vala&language_name%5B%5D=-1&commit=Update

We can also see that Go and Rust have linear growth (relative), and C# is experiencing stagnation:

Also Kotlin's growth is cutting into Java, while Scala experience stagnation, but Java is still massive:

Nothing too surprising, I guess.

Alright!  It is an interesting graphing tool, for sure.

I didn't find "Swift" in the menu either, btw.

I guess C++/ C is worth noticing as well:

https://www.openhub.net/languages/compare?utf8=%E2%9C%93&measure=contributors&language_name%5B%5D=cpp&language_name%5B%5D=c&language_name%5B%5D=-1&commit=Update

So C is experiencing stagnation, but C++ apparently has linear growth from C++14 onwards.

10% of all contributors on Github committing C++ code seems a bit too much. Probably some overcounting, people who commit non-C++ code to a mixed language project will count as a C++ contributor on Open Hub.

Maybe more multi-language-projects have started to use C++ for low level libraries? Dunno, but regardless, continuous language improvements seem to pay off in terms of increased adoption.

Tiobe... a great indication of how biased we are. When the language they like progress people forget that they've said about 1 million times that the Tiobe index is BS.

This GH feature doesn't work well IMO. I had an account with several D language projects and once I read all the results (someting like 100 pages !) and wasn't listed.

:-/

Hopefully all languages are affected in the same way...

The great advantage D has is our dogged persistence.
