Quoting the original post:
Is is popular in regards to the vertical axis (stackoverflow.com) but
it does poor in regards to the horizontal axis (github.com
The vertical axis doesn't include questions that appear on Wolfram Community. I wonder how much difference it would make to include them. However, ff other languages have non-Stack-Exchange communities, this would inconsequentlal.
If the authors of those projects could put the source of these
demonstrations in GitHub, it would really help improve the perceived
popularity of the language. And for new demonstrations, I would modify
the "upload a new demonstration" webpage in order to encourage authors
to send a GitHub link for the files.
Do you think this is a good idea?
I think this is a good idea, but would I think it would require more comments in the demonstrations' code. This may be quite an effort; crowdsourcing would help.
