I think that these statistics are a bit under-rated and a bit misleading

-under-rated: CSS: has 80% more pushes than C++ WOW :O Javascript: remains to be super for small projects but man this sure brings a tear to your eye when you see 10.69 pushes per repo i think i may have misunderstood JS alot Safe Languages: are probably not as safe as we think

-misleading: the fact that this isn't talking in anyway about the industry itself but about the LOVE given to each programming language for the following reasons:

a)Developers in general contribute to opensource programming projects with the same concept gcc devs used when saying "compiling GCC as C++, we are writing code if you want it as C do so your self" as i understood it

b)Interest and Time and Location on Github diverge from reality: Interest: Developers are interested in doing new things when it comes to Open Source so this may affect numbers alot Time:time changes everything Location: i think Github is number 1 place when it comes to Front-end programmers although every one likes it but in Javascript i think Github is the super man

CSS could be explained with the idea that a lot of the pushes could be small little fixes and tweaks.
