Actually, it looks like they use more than one strategy.  I don't 
exactly know why they use the wikipedia icon for Ada, but it has 
very high ranking.

But the Swift icon from wikipedia is completely different. In 
that case they appear to use a high resolution icon from the home 
page.  Perhaps <link rel="apple-touch-icon" 
href="https://developer.apple.com/swift/images/swift-touch-icon.png" />.

So first step would be to add links to high resolution images on 
the homepage. Then perhaps try to increase the visibility of hubs 
like dlang.org and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language) ?

It is hard to tell exactly what heuristics google use unless they 
publish it,  but those heuristics also change over time...

Besides, they might have people hand pick icons for the most 
notable entries.
