I'm looking at more of this, and jesus christ, this is completely wrong: https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/...

Code that commonly resides in .asp files is completely different from code that commonly resides in .aspx files. They are not synonyms for each other. Also, I would wager that C# aspx files are a tad more common than VB.NET aspx files.

It's even worse than lumping together .c and .cpp. You at least have some chance of getting .c files to compile in a C++ compiler. There is no chance of running ASP code through the ASP.NET engine.

This is why "ASPX" as a term exists, to differentiate from ASP.
