I think Java numbers look little strange. Java repos more than doubled from Jan to Nov this year.

Oracle shut down java.net and a lot of Oracle focused projects and other open source projects moved in. Extract from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/5cfh08/go_rust...

Most universities teach many classes in Java, which would explain some of that time frame.

Also, Android code is Java, so that's padding the numbers as well.

All the languages more than doubled on that period.

Yeah looks like part of this is just github's growth. Would be interesting to see this normalized for that - like languages share of the overall 100%.
