NodeJS has become the most popular repository on Github

The NodeJS framework came out on top of the list of the most popular Github projects in terms of the number of subscribers (watchers).

1. node - 11,349 subscribers
2. rails - 11,234
3. bootstrap - 10 924
4. jquery - 10,479
5. html5-boilerplate - 8 940
6. homebrew (package manager for OS X) - 6,641
7. diaspora - 5,898
8. three20 (Objective-C library for iPhone development) - 5,380
9. devise (authentication system for Rails) - 5,249
10. Spoon-Knife (empty repository for teaching new github users how to make forks, etc.) - 4,863

In general, the rating is quite subjective. For example, in third place is Bootstrap, a set of styles and UI elements from Twitter developers that came into being just a few months ago. In the first weeks after the release, he even visited the leaders of this list.

How the numbers with Github relate to reality can be judged by the number of followers for tags on StackOverflow: NodeJS has 2200, jQuery has 19 500, C # has 22 200, PHP # 18 000, and even ASP.NET has 8300 followers.
