m (→‎{{header|REXX}}: updated the number of computer programming languages that are used on Rosetta Code, based on the number of users.)
(promoted to (full) task status, added highligthing and whitespace, added a ;Task: section header as well a ;A method ... , ensured URLs will be on one line (not split), elided the forcing of the TOC.)

;Task:
Sort most popular programming languages based on the number of users on Rosetta Code. Show the languages with at least 100 users.
Sort most popular programming languages based on the number of users on Rosetta Code.


Show the languages with at least 100 users.

A way to solve the task:


Users of a 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 redirections. 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 language users category to count the users.

Sample output on 18 february 2019:
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 count the number of users of that computer language.

A Rosetta Code user usually declares using a language with the [[Template:Mylang|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.
