That was been true for some time. But it seems that some projects need to be re-analysed for the language statistics to show up corrected. But identifying source files as Prolog source files is not always accurate. The software doing the job, linguist, still defines the Prolog bits as: Prolog: type: programming color: "#74283c" primary_extension: .prolog extensions: - .pro Me and others tried to get .pl recognized as the de facto standard extension for Prolog source files but it was a lost battle. Thankfully, linguist (also) uses the actual contents of the files to try to infer the language used in a source file. Sometimes linguist guesses it wrong and you can find e.g. people also complaining that suddenly that have become Prolog programmers :-) Cheers, Paulo ----------------------------------------------------------------- Paulo Moura Logtalk developer Email: <mailto:[email protected]> Web: <http://logtalk.org/> -----------------------------------------------------------------
