Yes, agreed...we've had lots of requests to add other languages.

And as you say, the growing popularity of GitHub gives us all kinds of cool data even when there's no central package manager for the language. In fact, we're mining imports of every Python and R project on GitHub right now to build out the dependency network beyond the (much much smaller) CRAN and PyPi networks.

The idea with Depsy has been to launch quickly with two languages, so people could see what it looks like, then iterate and add more as we get feedback. So we'll count your comment as +1 for C and C++ :)
