languages.yml in the GitHub linguist project has a good list of languages but I'll need to look up and register how strings and comments are written in each language.

Maybe having a similar languages.yml file and then deriving the scanner configuration from that would be the best way to maintain it. Right now the code is just statically written which may be a bit cumbersome.

Top 250 languages on GitHub

This is based on the BigQuery public data table. Many important file formats are missing from this (e.g. YAML, TOML, etc). I think this is because while they are in many many repos the data only includes the languages that make up a large % of the repo contents and config files are using just a small part.

Need to rework languages so they each have their own parser to support idiosyncrasies in how some languages are parsed.

For example VimL uses quote characters (") for both strings and line comments. A parser would need to determine the difference between the two.
