I’m not sure how to take “open source” when there are closed source commercial things on the trends list.

Some of the categories don't make sense to me. Angular is not a language, neither is Deno, for example.

You are hot on Hacker News, but your newsletter subscription is failing with, "An error occurred"

What is the value for me as a software engineer to watch this?

E.g. How does the metric work.

I searched for Kotlin repository but it was not found. It has like 50K stars.

I feel like the way you present "trends" like on here: https://getstack.dev/category/language

...is less than useful, because (roughly) no one deletes old repos and code, so everything will always be trending "up."

I'd be more interested in a stat that perhaps considered "number of active repos that have this language, or, this language's share of representation among repos with activeness in the last month. With some reasonable definition of "active," of course.

The percents are... change per week?
