Markup: SQL not showing in Language Statistics

[spsanderson]

I have a repository github.com/spsanderson/bmhmc-sql that is mostly SQL, there is some VB and R in there. In the language statistics SQL is not listed, kind of confused as to why being that it is a recognized language.

Thanks.

SQL is considered as a _data_ language by Linguist and only _programming_ languages are part of the statistics.

[spsanderson]

Ok thank you, I'll close this out.

Wow. Came across this because I couldn't understand the lack of statistics either.

The response seems: a) naive; b) insulting; c) unhelpful.

It's amazing that scripting languages are considered and SQL is not. How R and SQL are so different beggars belief. Really astounded by this response.

MS Transact SQL has procedural programming and variables. Still not a programming language?

Well HTML isn't a programming language also, but it's part of the statistics, isn't it?

[pchaigno]

@harisont Yep, this changed since my last answer 3 years ago. Now both programming and markup languages are part of language statistics.

[harisont]

But still no SQL! That'weird, in my opinion. I read this because I was asking myself what the reason was.

I sincerely feel SQL should be reported.

[pchaigno]

@ejspeiro You can now override that behavior with linguist-detectable.

Nice update @pchaigno
