Inspired by a 2013 tweet from @garu, I end up querying GitHub for basic #Perl project stats from time to time out of curiosity.
Here are the data points I have so far:
- 2013-09-07: ~50k repos, 11 with >500 stars, 2 with >1k stars
- 2021-11-09: ~133k repos, 129 with >500 stars, 56 with >1k stars
- 2023-11-11: ~125k repos, 156 with >500 stars, 74 with >1k stars
The query used is like `language:Perl stars:>500`
Sharing in hopes others find it interesting.
