Restrict project retrieval to a certain language

Dear all,

first of all, thanks for making the API available to us CS researchers, it is really great to have this data available!

I am currently in the process of retrieving projects to form a sample set of software for research. For my purposes, relevant projects are well-known projects involving certain languages.

For this, it would be great if I could restrict project collection retrieval to projects which use a certain language (I imagine something like &language=2). Selecting the main language is surely the most important, but specifying others (possibly multiple ones) would be very nice too. This would be in addition to the usual sorting options if possible.

Is this something that you might consider adding? It would help me tremendously. I'd be happy to clarify/answer any questions, here or via email.

Thank you,
