That's hardly a measure of relevance or technical merit. There's a lot of artificial hype being created around some new projects that have a very tenuous correspondence to their technical merits or problems they actually solve, and social network chatter is hardly a factor in assessing technical merits.
For me, it means people are actively using it (making libraries... making the language better) or in general there is some movement behind it and I think that is actually important for open source projects.
