Doesn't GitHub have a rating system of some kind?

Well, how many "stars" a repo gets, but that says nothing really about the technical accomplishment, more about the culture associated with a language. I mean there was nothing technically impressed about "left pad" but 100,000 Javascript programmers use it and were caught flat footed when it disappeared (not Github I know but the principle is the same).

Indeed. Fart scroll had like 20k stars the last time I looked. What a load of garbage!
