Understanding Java Usability by Mining GitHub Repositories

Authors: Mark J. Lemay

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 67, 9th Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools (PLATEAU 2018)

Abstract

There is a need for better empirical methods in programming language design. This paper addresses that need by demonstrating how, by observing publicly available Java source code, we can infer usage and usability issues with the Java language. In this study, 1,746 GitHub projects were analyzed and some basic usage facts are reported.
