I hate these, because they are always wrong.

Once a measurement is used for success, it stops being a good measurement.

Javascript, namely node, has a metric ton of libraries, and you think, iseven/isodd/... so god knows how many libraries are out there, not actual projects.

I will say, that their metric about growth of the number of contributors is a much better metric for 'best language.'
