Would be a fun data science project: given the READMEs of all github projects, find the longest chain of programming language implementations without (close) duplicates.

Prove that it is a valid chain by actually running all compilers.

Bonus points for less common languages such as SNOBOL and Mumps, or languages rarely reimplemented and/or rarely used for writing compilers such as TI-59 or Lotus-123 macro language.
