I think this plot begs a different question... which languages are being abused by the development community?

Javascript is way too expressive for its given position. I also believe ruby is more expressive than python, and yet the plot shows the opposite there as well.

This plot could have some interesting data, but there's far too much noise to really learn much from it.

I agree. I was also surprised by Ruby's position. I suspect the problem is related to that with JavaScript. That is to say, people including code in their commits that they didn't write.
