I am pretty surprised by my ranking in San Francisco :) 86 in Lua devs? not so many Lua devs around ...

Also, it seems that some of my repo are not taking into account, like https://github.com/picsoung/uberSlackBot which has 13 stars.

I am ranked N.1 for Lua in Paris and N.66 worlwide, but yes, there are not that many Lua devs on GitHub (the Open Source community is small).

We should take it as a chance to be #1 somewhere ;)

The stars information comes from GitHub Archive : https://www.githubarchive.org/

There are some limitations, for example it doesn't include events before 2011

The concept of "star" has also changed several times (they are still called watchers in the API)

I'm #1 in my town. :> It only sees 2 CL repositories though (of 10 or so):(.
