"Looking at the top repo for each language also exposes a weakness in the methodology: GitHub’s language identification isn’t perfect and there are number of polyglot projects. The top Java repo is Storm, which uses enough Clojure (20.1% by GitHub’s measure) to make this identification questionable when you take into account Clojure’s conciseness over Java’s."
