Obviously we were supposed to think that Java would be the biggest abuser of this construct. However, keep in mind that Java is severely under represented on GitHub compared to languages like PhP. Compare http://adambard.com/blog/top-github-languages-for-2013-so-fa... to http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.... and notice the discrepancies. In other words, sampling on GitHub is severly biased.

Look at the graph - PHP just happens to be the first result, Java still 'wins'.

There are not very many results overall though (152 total), so I'd say the real answer is none of them.
