Problem is this, the suggestions are generated by using the repo descriptions as the starting point dropping all references to language and non-English words. What this means is even if you have a lot of stars on ruby repositories, if the search on terms derived from the above process leads to non-ruby repositories that is what is shown. Will look into tuning it better.

I'd suggest adding a filter at the top of results to filter by language- i.e. a checkbox by each language result at the top to specify which results to filter to

OTOH, I kind of like the idea that something like this could lead me to discover a programming language that is better suited to the subjects that I am interested in.
