Add filter by programming language

[marclaporte]

It would be fantastic to be able to filter by programming language. Ex.: who is experienced in PHP in country XYZ?

This was possible on the now inactive Rollodeqc project: Example: https://kinshasa-odjhpdolpb.now.sh/page-2/

Code:

• https://github.com/millette/kinshasa
• https://github.com/millette?tab=repositories&q=rollodeqc&type=&language=

Thanks!

@marclaporte I'm not sure how this can be picked up via the GraphQL queries currently used in github.go, do you have a suggestion? If this needs to be derived via some manner, it's going to be problematic as just running it for all regions via GitHub actions takes ~2 days on my fork -- most of the failures are due to hitting the GraphQL rate limits, which is complicated :man_shrugging:

@millette is the expert. I hope he has some wisdom :-)

Salut @marclaporte,

As @ashkulz mentions, (and last time I checked at the end of 2021), you have to poll github for all the info and only after that can you filter by languages.

Last year, github released a flat data project which might be of interest. It might help with scrapping and rate limits, but I'm not 100% sure.
