The people most likely to look at this project are also likely ideal candidates for implementing the library in a new language (Developer, FOSS enthusiast, interested in the project, need the library in a language they’re familiar with that isn’t implemented yet). Also, the language pills differentiate between those that have been implemented (color logo, dark text, bold) and those that aren’t (grayscale).

Good points. Those pages also contain links to old implementations (Hashids), because a lot of projects still use those and want to be able to find them.

Also can help track which languages people click on, probably a good proxy of where there would be the need to develop a lib
