While it is unfortunate that a pull request on this project has been around for 5 months without much progress, I think the commenter is being a bit dramatic. He is acting as if GitHub is blocking all commits with Limbo code. The language can still be under version control, it just might not have syntax highlighting and its own color in the repo stats bar.

GitHub isn't discriminating against certain programmers. Stay calm and keep coding!

It is discriminating, and harmful to all programmers. We need to be able to easily search for these lesser known languages – they are important cultural works. The commenter points out: "Limbo ... seems to have heavily inspired Go (which is currently extremely fashionable)". We are worse off for not having our history readily accessible.
