Is it really so popular? Maybe move it into rare?

This is up to you and this is not really important.

What about forth.hrc, kotlin.hrc, fortran.hrc, etc?

F# is the member of .NET family, so it is not much different from C# or VB.NET. It is also a scripting language, so scripts is also a candidate category. But rare is a bit weird.

Personally, I think it is a strange idea to categorize schemes by popularity.

Could you please give a clear answer? Were you interested in my opinion or telling me to move it to rare in order to get PR accepted?

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sorry, slipped off from my radar. I am thinking that introducing new languages to the list may shift automatic keyboard shortcuts, and also that the list of main languages should be updated with http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

Kotlin is not counted there. Well, ok. I guess it is an issue for another bug report for release. )

Thank you!

A note about tiobe-index. I have been watching it for a few years, and that is
what I think: it sucks really hard. Of course, it shows something and may be
used to some extent.

I think the modern and the most trustful way is comparison by number of
questions per language on Stack Overflow. GitHub statistics is also useful.

They describe how do they count. You may try http://spectrum.ieee.org/static/interactive-the-top-programming-languages-2016 - should be more authoritative.
