I have a few Perl projects on Github that uses Bootstrap. Main language (according to Github): Javascript.

I expect that Javascript's github popularity ranking is (a little bit) inflated due to such issues.

I expect it's a lot inflated. I also have repos that are primarily Groovy, but show up as "Javascript" due to the presence of JQuery, Bootstrap, etc.

Unfortunately, until this core issue is fixed, users can't really submit further pull requests to fix the other issues which would correct the "inflation" we all know and hate.

They actually have a set of files and libraries that they ignore (.DS_Store/jquery/boostrap/etc)
