Linguist: List of languages without a colour

[wopian]

Continuing from #4506. 49% (280) languages currently do not have a language assigned and show as grey (a lot of these are grouped languages that GitHub shows ungrouped in search results).

List generated with https://gist.github.com/wopian/8639e5d24119cbd99548b73c18321686

Early Sidenotes

• Languages without a logo or no other clear branding are being skipped.

• If the language has no logo and is developed by a sole company, their logo/brand is used.

• If a logo consists of multiple colours, I've listed them by most dominant (or in the case of Blitz, least blinding).

• Will try and do 2 or more letters per day.

Key

🙅 = No logo, no brand or lack of info for language
❓ = No suitable colour, but is grouped into a language that has a colour

[wopian]

Added G, H, I and J. Incorporating suggestions from @Haroenv

[Alhadis]

• JSON can use #3e3e3e; that's the result of averaging each colour in its logo.
• Spline Font Databases are a format native to FontForge. Though the logo is black-and-white, the site has a predominantly blue motif (evoking blueprints to draw outlines on).

GN ? maybe ninja logo?

What logo? Neither Ninja nor GN have logos of their own. I made this one several years back for the file-icons project, but it doesn't have a colour. Though I'd say deep, dark blue would be the appropriate colour for evoking midnight-draped shinobi. 😉

a lot of these are grouped languages that GitHub shows ungrouped in search results

IMHO, grouped languages should inherit the colour of their parent language. They're represented on GitHub as their parent, so it makes sense they should inherit their parent's colour.

Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format #000 (source: no colours in spec)

Adobe invented that format, so we can just use #fa0f00 (taken from Adobe's logo)

Git Attributes #F44D27 (grouped in INI, source: logo)
Git Config #F44D27 (grouped in INI, source: logo)

🤔 INI? Wait, that doesn't sound right... they might be config formats, but calling them INI is a stretch…

[wopian]

Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format #000 (source: no colours in spec)

Adobe invented that format, so we can just use #fa0f00 (taken from Adobe's logo)

I used the PostScript colour on Linguist as Adobe Postscript's logo was on both (that and Adobe Font Metrics) specification PDFs in greyscale.

I presumed they were the same shade of red but I guess it turns out Adobe's logo is brighter than Adobe PostScript's Linguist colour - likely a result of the axed colour similarity check 👀

Git Attributes #F44D27 (grouped in INI, source: logo)
Git Config #F44D27 (grouped in INI, source: logo)

🤔 INI? Wait, that doesn't sound right... they might be config formats, but calling them INI is a stretch…

The grouped data is extracted from languages.yml, but yeah I too was surprised they were grouped under INI when I got to them.

[Alhadis]

I presumed they were the same shade of red but I guess it turns out Adobe's logo is brighter than Adobe PostScript's Linguist colour

Yup. Back in the day, Adobe's branding used a darker shade of red that matched PostScript's. They brightened that at some point in the last 30 years, but since PostScript's no longer an actively supported product, it still uses the old branding colour.

In any case, PostScript and GBDF have very, very little in common, so it's probably better to use a different colour anyway. 😁

but yeah I too was surprised they were grouped under INI when I got to them.

This might warrant a closer look. Some entries, like EditorConfig and NPM configs, are grouped under INI and only exist for dedicated highlighting purposes. But we can't go slapping the INI label anything that happens to be an unindented config file...

[wopian]

Added K and L and changed the Adobe languages to use Adobe's branding instead of Adobe PostScript.

@Alhadis: This might warrant a closer look. Some entries, like EditorConfig and NPM configs, are grouped under INI and only exist for dedicated highlighting purposes. But we can't go slapping the INI label anything that happens to be an unindented config file...

Should I open another issue to get discussion going for this? Since the group associations are in the Linguist YML file and out of scope for this issue.

@wopian: a lot of these are grouped languages that GitHub shows ungrouped in search results

@Alhadis: IMHO, grouped languages should inherit the colour of their parent language. They're represented on GitHub as their parent, so it makes sense they should inherit their parent's colour.

I'm somewhat conflicted on this but besides the embedded languages I'm more skewed to only using the parent if there's no suitable colour/branding for the sub-language. Django, Embedded Crystal/Elixir/Ruby, PHP and Razor are my only concerns where I currently agree with you to stick with the parent (i.e. HTML) language.

• 👍 Quite a few grouped languages have clear branding which makes sense when viewed from the repository languages section (e.g fish)
  
  
  
  • 👍Several grouped under INI have clear branding, but INI itself does not
  
  
• 👍 For HTML and the embedded programming languages I'm personally more interested in the embedded language than the mark-up language itself.
  
  
  
  • 👎 However, an embedded programming language inside another programming language like JavaScript with Embedded Ruby doesn't gel well with that method. It'd stick with the JavaScript colour here...which leads to
  
  
  • 👎 Most of the embedded language template file is going to be standard HTML (or JavaScript for JavaScript+Ruby) with maybe only a few lines of template tag syntax in some cases
