    I don’t want to start a holy war. but they say it should bring more contributors and a more fun programming language should mean more contributions but contribution metrics on openhub show no meaningful improvement IMO.

      Openhub also says it’s “mostly written in javascript”.

      But in all seriousness: The port wasn’t the greatest time for new contributors, because there wasn’t a lot of feature work or cleanup happening.

      So I’d expect more now.

        Openhub also says it’s “mostly written in javascript”.

        Probably because the website site is listed as one of the repositories.

          The website has about 50 lines of non-generated javascript. Even counting the generated JS, fish-site is 96.5% html.

          (either way, setting a “main repo” here seems to be table stakes and does not fill me with confidence about OpenHub)
