Thanks! Those were interesting too.

So the clear growth in "open source enthusiasm" happend:

- Crystal: first half 2015
- Rust: 2013-first half 2015
- Nim: around 2014/2015
- D: no change

But all of them might taper off to something stable in last half 
of 2015? Maybe Swift will steal the thunder from all.

Hm. Maybe there was a change in user interface that made the star 
functionality more visible. If that is the case then D might have 
been stable for a long time.
