I wonder if there's correlations between tasks and languages, e.g. maybe R is better for bioinformatics tasks, python for webdev, C for CLIs, etc. I'd expect to see it because some languages are used more often in some tasks than others, but on the other hand LLMs can learn across languages and it's not clear if task-language use patterns are just historical or if the language is genuinely better at the task.
