It could just be that the Github language detection mechanism got
better. A lot of repositories have been known to be marked as
D-language repos, when they had nothing to do with D. There are other
languages that use the .d extension, and this trips up Github.

I don't think even these new statistics are reliable. They should
really do something as simple as check whether there's an "import
std.*" or "import core.*" in a .d file, this would probably cut down
on a lot of fake positives.
