Exploring GitHub, often I ask myself: “What’s this user’s favourite language? How does it like to get stuff done?”
Because of that, I create userl, a tiny Ruby script to scan the repositories of a GitHub user detecting its preferred languages.

You can quickly install it via RubyGems

$ gem install userl

To start to analyze user’s repositories, type

$ userl marcosero

and you’ll get this
