Support for more syntaxes

Churn is really cool! Churn is useful to identify problem files, even in non-Ruby projects. Maybe we could check for class and method churn for other languages as well?

yeah if you check the waffle board (a thin layer around GH issues) there are some thoughts on trying to add additional language support. I think it would be really cool to parse out other languages.

I was mostly thinking about JS, but what language would you most be looking for?

JavaScript would be good. Maybe JSHint could help for parsing.

Java would be good. Maybe PMD or Checkstyle could help for parsing.

I'm compiling a big list of linters for different languages. Hopefully, pieces of the linter libraries can help churn analyze classes and methods for different languages.
