Task

Sort most popular programming languages based on the number of users on Rosetta Code.

Show the languages with at least 100 users.

A method to solve the task

Users of a computer programming language X are those referenced in the page:

 https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:X_User,     or preferably: 
 https://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Category:X_User&redirect=no to avoid re-directions.

In order to find the list of such categories, it's possible to first parse the entries of:

 http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=5000.

Then download and parse each computer language users category to find the number of users of that computer language.

Sample output on 18 February 2019:

Language             Users
--------------------------
C                      391
Java                   276
C++                    275
Python                 262
JavaScript             238
Perl                   171
PHP                    167
SQL                    138
UNIX Shell             131
BASIC                  120
C sharp                118
Pascal                 116
Haskell                102

A Rosetta Code user usually declares using a language with the mylang template. This template is expected to appear on the User page. However, in some cases it appears in a user Talk page. It's not necessary to take this into account. For instance, among the 373 C users in the table above, 3 are actually declared in a Talk page.

Go

<lang go>package main

import (

   "fmt"
   "io/ioutil"
   "net/http"
   "regexp"
   "sort"
   "strconv"

)

type Result struct {

   lang  string
   users int

}

func main() {

   const minimum = 25
   ex := `"Category:(.+?)( User)?"(\}|,"categoryinfo":\{"size":(\d+),)`
   re := regexp.MustCompile(ex)
   page := "http://rosettacode.org/mw/api.php?"
   action := "action=query"
   format := "format=json"
   fversion := "formatversion=2"
   generator := "generator=categorymembers"
   gcmTitle := "gcmtitle=Category:Language%20users"
   gcmLimit := "gcmlimit=500"
   prop := "prop=categoryinfo"
   rawContinue := "rawcontinue="
   page += fmt.Sprintf("%s&%s&%s&%s&%s&%s&%s&%s", action, format, fversion,
       generator, gcmTitle, gcmLimit, prop, rawContinue)
   resp, _ := http.Get(page)
   body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
   matches := re.FindAllStringSubmatch(string(body), -1)
   resp.Body.Close()
   var results []Result
   for _, match := range matches {
       if len(match) == 5 {
           users, _ := strconv.Atoi(match[4]) 
           if users >= minimum {
               result := Result{match[1], users}
               results = append(results, result)
           }
       }
   }
   sort.Slice(results, func(i, j int) bool {
       return results[j].users < results[i].users
   })

   fmt.Println("Rank  Users  Language")
   fmt.Println("----  -----  --------")
   rank := 0
   lastUsers := 0
   lastRank := 0
   for i, result := range results {
       eq := " "
       rank = i + 1
       if lastUsers == result.users {
           eq = "="
           rank = lastRank
       } else {
           lastUsers = result.users
           lastRank = rank
       }
       fmt.Printf(" %-2d%s   %3d    %s\n", rank, eq, result.users, result.lang)
   }

}</lang>

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: Rakudo version 2017.11

Use the mediawiki API rather than web scraping since it is much faster and less resource intensive. Show languages with more than 25 users since that is still a pretty short list and to demonstrate how tied rankings are handled. Change the $minimum parameter to adjust what the cut-off point will be.

This is all done in a single pass; ties are not detected until a language has the same count as a previous one, so ties are marked by a T next to the count indicating that this language has the same count as the previous.

<lang perl6>use HTTP::UserAgent; use URI::Escape; use JSON::Fast;

my $client = HTTP::UserAgent.new;

my $url = 'http://rosettacode.org/mw';

my $start-time = now;

say "========= Generated: { DateTime.new(time) } =========";

my $lang = 1; my $rank = 0; my $last = 0; my $tie = ' '; my $minimum = 25;

.say for

   mediawiki-query(
       $url, 'pages',
       :generator<categorymembers>,
       :gcmtitle<Category:Language users>,
       :gcmlimit<350>,
       :rawcontinue(),
       :prop<categoryinfo>
   )

   .map({ %( count => .<categoryinfo><pages> || 0,
             lang  => .<title>.subst(/^'Category:' (.+) ' User'/, ->$/ {$0}) ) })

   .sort( { -.<count>, .<lang> } )

   .map( { last if .<count> < $minimum; display(.<count>, .<lang>) } );

say "========= elapsed: {(now - $start-time).round(.01)} seconds =========";

sub display ($count, $which) {

   if $last != $count { $last = $count; $rank = $lang; $tie = ' ' } else { $tie = 'T' };
   sprintf "#%3d  Rank: %2d %s  with %-4s users:  %s", $lang++, $rank, $tie, $count, $which;

}

sub mediawiki-query ($site, $type, *%query) {

   my $url = "$site/api.php?" ~ uri-query-string(
       :action<query>, :format<json>, :formatversion<2>, |%query);
   my $continue = ;

   gather loop {
       my $response = $client.get("$url&$continue");
       my $data = from-json($response.content);
       take $_ for $data.<query>.{$type}.values;
       $continue = uri-query-string |($data.<query-continue>{*}».hash.hash or last);
   }

}

sub uri-query-string (*%fields) {

   join '&', %fields.map: { "{.key}={uri-escape .value}" }

REXX

(Native) REXX doesn't support web-page reading, so the mentioned Rosetta Code categories and
Rosetta Code Languages were downloaded to local files.

This program reads the Languages file (looking for a language user) and uses the contents of
that file for a validation of the categories file.
This essentially is a perfect filter for the Rosetta Code categories file.

The catHeap variable in the REXX program is just a long string of all the records in the web-file of the
Rosetta Code categories, with a special character (sep) that separates each count of users
for a computer programming language entry (name).

The mechanism is to use a (sparse) stemmed array which holds only the names of languages which
(for most REXXes) uses a hashing algorithm to locate the entry (which is very fast).

Programming note: (REXX doesn't handle Unicode characters) some special cases that are translated:

╬£C++ translated into µC++ [Greek micro]
╨£╨Ü-61/52 translated into MK-61/52 [Cyrillic МК-61/52])
??-61/52 translated into MK-61/52 [Cyrillic МК-61/52])
D├⌐j├á Vu translated into Déjà Vu
Cach├⌐ translated into Caché
F┼ìrmul├ª translated into Fôrmulæ
α«ëα«»α«┐α«░α»ì/Uyir translated into Uyir
╨£iniZinc translated into MiniZinc

(The 3^rd entry is most likely caused by the inability to render unsupported glyphs when it was first used to add that language.)

Code was added to support the renaming of the computer programming language Perl 6 ──► Raku.
