Coverage

Eight things langbank can know about a language, and how many languages it knows each of. Nothing here is inferred — a facet counts when the data carries it.

facet	lets a consumer	have	lack
`detection`	recognise a file as this language	822	5
`comments`	strip comments without parsing	229	598
`facets`	know it hosts components or styles	22	805
`conventions`	find its tests and fixtures	17	810
`toolchain`	name a tool that handles it	206	621
`compiler`	build or run it	23	804
`analyser`	lint or format it	111	716
`ecosystem`	resolve its packages	29	798

By role, so the denominator means something

The totals above set the wrong target on their own. ecosystem reads as 802 languages waiting to be filled in — but JSON has no package manager and CSV has no compiler, and 270 of the 827 are data, markup, documentation, stylesheet or build formats. This says which languages the question was even asked of.

Named by a source and almost nothing else. These are where the next absorption has the most to add — and where a recorded gap is the honest answer until someone looks.
