> How often do you see .NET repos on Github?

Well, ok, if we're going by GitHub repos, C has 117k repos with at least one star and Rust has 11k. That doesn't seem to be that different than then number of programmers as a whole.

(FWIW, there are 104k starred C# repos and 2k F# repos, which doesn't seem all that out-of-line with the popularity of those languages as a whole.)
