I don’t have many public repos. My biggest one is just a web app (mostly in Java) that I wrote as part of applying to a job. I used a tiny bit of jquery on the front end and committed the min file to the repo so it would get bundled into the WAR. GitHub calls this a 79% JavaScript project. I barely wrote any.

I’m guessing this sort of thing is part of the reason JavaScript’s numbers are so strong.
