Our goal with the new code search and code view is to enable developers to quickly search, navigate and understand their code, put critical information into context, and ultimately make them more productive. To achieve that, we’ve brought three powerful new capabilities to GitHub.com.
The gist of the story goes as follow:
- The most popular languages are JavaScript/TypeScript and Python with roughly 20% of all pull requests each. In effect, if you put JavaScript/TypeScript and Python together, you get about 40% of all pull requests.
- Then you get the second tier languages: Java and Scala, C/C++, and Go. They all are in the 10% to 15% range.
- Finally, you have PHP, Ruby and C# that all manage to get about 5% of all pull requests.
- Other languages are typically far below 5%.
