Are you aware this is a github infomercial ? That is how 
gamification works: make you compete  over who has the most 
github repos or more migration or whatevers, but the important 
part is making github keep the score :)

This is not about language popularity but about language 
popularity on github. Moreover while charts are nice we don't 
have a "other" category so we don't really see if the languages 
listed cover 90% of github repos or 50% of github repos. Even 
more, if you used github you know the language the project gets 
listed under by default is rather random: if you have js files it 
might get listed under js, if you have C files it might get 
listed under C: for example the rather large migration of Perl 
programmers to C is very probably just Perl modules adding XS 
components.


So don't stress and keep using D ;)
