Here u go with some comparison charts (stars from github) ;-)

D - https://plot.ly/~chalucha/4/stars-vs-month/
Rust - https://plot.ly/~chalucha/32/rust-stars/
Crystal - https://plot.ly/~chalucha/41/crystal-stars/
Nim - https://plot.ly/~chalucha/47/nim-stars/
Go - it has just mirror on github for not so long - not 
interesting much

It seems that all languages gain some momentum in 2013 - maybe 
also due to github popularity?
