I took a look at the raw file (which the REXX program uses), the category file. There is no entry for '''AngelScript''' in that file, but there is an entry for that language in the (raw) language file. The REXX program uses the category file to find entries, and when it finds an entry, it verifies that the language exists (that is, it is indeed a language instead of just a special category), it only then recognizes it as a language. Languages which have no entries in the category file aren't counted. However, the category file does have an entry for '''AngelScript User''' (1 member), so noting that '''AngelScript User''' is not a language, it is just a special category.
