But it is a silent majority. Because the majority of .NET software is not written to be public facing; but rather written for some internal IT need. Everyone who needs some little custom piece of software that will plug their special domain-specific software into their accounting system has it written in .NET. Yes, Microsoft only has a small fraction of total public webservers. But theres so much that's not public that you don't see. Github isn't a very good metric; Git is a lot more popular on Mac OS X and Linux than it is on Windows. Furthermore, most of the code written in C# isn't open source, so an open source hosting site isn't a good way to measure it; and the stuff that is, is more often hosted on Codeplex, Microsoft's code hosting site. |

I'd be very surprised if the majority of C software is either. Most C software devs I know have no interest in publishing FOSS, and write software for business use inside enterprises.
I don't think we can really claim to know anything from some stats about web servers or github.
