GitHub just released this blog post about emoji use on the platform.
Check out this graphic from the post:
Rubyists just love to ❤️, myself included.
My first thought was that the color red is why Rubyists love the red heart. But when I saw that Ruby was also #1 in 🎉, I was convinced. Rubyists are the kindest. I am not surprised at all by the finding. I love the Ruby community.
Keep being awesome, Ruby. But don’t gloat too much about this news, you have a reputation of kindness to uphold. 😄
I’m sorry c-sharpers. 😕

$5 says the c-sharp sad faces and thumbs down are for all the people that keep filing issues on dotnet/announcements and aspnet/announcements where issues filed are only for public announcements about dotnet.
I think Go has the kindest, but that may just be because I'm heavily involved.
Something to consider is that Go is a very minimalist language, and there are a lot of proposals to add features that aren't needed. Go is meant to be a very simple language that will last long-term, and in order to accomplish that, it needs to be very strict on what gets added.
In terms of helpfulness and such, the Go forum and community in general is very kind! It's one of the things that makes the community really fun to be part of. But when proposals come in, which anyone is allowed to submit, people (including me) tend to be very critical towards them in order to make sure we only add features that we really need to add. Thus a lot of proposals get a huge storm of 👎s since a lot of proposals are for "nice to have" features and not "need to have".
java...
That’s not kindness, just emoji use.
You can't argue with emoji, though as a c-sharpie I have to give this a big...oh, dev.to (thankfully) doesn't have a thumbs-down so I'll give this post a heart!
I don't have experience with Ruby (yet), but it seems like a lovely ecosystem to get into 🤗. It's surprising that Rust didn't make the list 🤔.
Bruh, where's the C++ community? why did it go off the charts we're also kind people lol :)
I'm surprised to see Python community isn't even in the top five (in the "love" index)
go i like most
Umm... isn't this premised on the assumption that emoji usage is correlated with communal kindness?
Congratulations Rubyists 👍🎉
We , Pythonists are just behind you ❤
So People Who C Sharp are always confused and demotivational 😓 (Don't Get Offended Guys 😉)
