#Fediverse developer preferences code-language wise 
1. #Python
2. #PHP
3. #Javascript
4. #Go
5. #Rust
Of course, if all Wordpress plugins (working and broken ones) and some OStatus tools are included, PHP might as well become number one.
@ngerakines @daycode Nice project name! 
Would be handy if the README had a line or two of text. I would never guess what Tavern project is about, because main code is currently in non-master branches and the master README is empty ;)
@lightone @daycode Yeah, everything is in the release-amber-ale branch: https://gitlab.com/ngerakines/tavern/-/tree/release-amber-ale. I'm making pretty good progress with it running on tavern.ngrok.io. The test account is @nick
@ngerakines @daycode Cool! Tavern can be found here now :) https://the-federation.info/tavern Will add to fediverse.party list tomorrow. I can link to this branch instead of master, if it is there to stay? Or perhaps you plan to merge into master soon?
@ngerakines OK, then I'll add the extra branch link now but will switch it to master branch later on, just in case. :)
@ngerakines @lightone @daycode @nick Feature set is still non obvious :)
@ngerakines @skobkin @lightone @daycode @nick Sounds interesting.
@lightone If you sort by commits or number of contributors, surely Mastodon and Pleroma would uncover two languages that don't appear at all in your top 5. No?
@raucao If we measure Fediverse projects by community / developer attention, Mastodon and Pleroma would certainly be on top! Not sure about commits. diaspora, Friendica, Hubzilla have existed for a longer period of time and will be on top by that metric. Sorting Fediverse-related projects by code languages is useful for developers who'd like to contribute in their target language. In fact, "rare" languages give more chances for a project to attract new devs (less attention diversion 
).
@lightone Diaspora is also written in Ruby, and Friendica and Hubzilla would share the PHP spot. So Ruby should still appear in any "top 5 languages" for fedi devs IMO. Just saying it's odd that it's missing in that list, considering the large fedi projects using it.
@raucao Ruby didn't appear in my top 5 "most used languages" post because it is... not top 5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if we sort by code language only. All the mentioned projects are on the list though: https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous 
And on the website's front page
@lightone It's not top 5 by a faulty/less relevant metric. But OK. You can pretend it's not one of the top 5 languages all you want in your own lists. Just pointing out the flaw.
@lightone so am I that one Java weirdo?
