Currently writing a blog post that will list them, currently list looks like this: javascript : 21542 python : 18574 java : 9771 ruby : 8657 php : 6127 c++ : 5185 rust : 4100 clojure : 3813 basic (?) : 3267 haskell : 3065 lisp : 2992 scala : 2828
I get the ? on Basic, since it might be other uses of the word. I bet a random sample of 20 would be enough to adjust.
