The Go program

If you want to fork or reuse this program, here are some useful informations.

This little GO program requests the GitHub API

A typical request for one language for one month is: https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=stars:>0+forks:>0+size:>10+language:%22Swift%22+pushed:2016-11-01..2016-11-30

The program exposes the following resource:

http://localhost:8000/

A CSV file is returned.

The program wait 7 seconds between each request to not exceed the current GitHub rate limit (10 requests/minute)
