> C++, Ruby and Javascript have the most profanity. They're relatively equal to each other and collectively account for more than 50% of the swearing in commit messages.

this is the problem. In the pie chart it's almost impossible to determine which of those three has the most. In the bar chart, it's fairly obvious to my eye that C++ wins, though JS/Ruby are very close.

Rather than being organized by language names, the items in the pie graph should have been grouped by size (largest at 12, proceeding clockwise to the smallest at 11:59, for example). What relationship is there to show between the grouped names of programs that outweighs making this clear?
