> I doubt that a GitHub README is used for language evangelism.

Perhaps you should reconsider this. OpenVMM split up its docs and there isn't much in the actual README, but a few seconds investigation led me to https://github.com/microsoft/openvmm/blob/main/Guide/src/dev... , for example.

> Also, I don't find it annoying, but helpful, because I care - amongst other things - about the language of open source software projects.

Come on, this is not even a good strawman. It's very easy to find out the language of you want to know, and it's possible to inform without evangelism.

It's not a straw man at all. It's my opinion.

Indeed, but nothing makes it more straight forward than the language being mentioned in the HN News title
