I wrote a little Clojure script ⊕ Not to be confused with ClojureScript. to gather the language usage data from my GitHub repos and sort them in descending order of popularity.

The results

⊕ I don't use Ruby, except when contributing to Homebrew. I also have a repo or two of polyglot coding exercises, which, of course
skew the results.
