You mention that you didn’t receive inputs from developers in India and particularly didn’t receive inputs from the above 35 age category. Well, I wasn’t even notified of the survey. It helps to send an email notification and ensure that it’s not from an email id that’ll get auto-moved into the spam folder.

Thank you again for a nice survey! Two questions:

Are “admired” and “desired” defined in the same way as “loved” and “wanted” in previous years? Based on a very quick comparison, “desired” percentages seem to be roughly the same as “loved” last year for the same technologies, but “admired” percentages are at least in some cases clearly higher. It would be nice to have the same terminology and definitions to allow comparing with last year.

Also, could you add the possibility of sorting technologies by “admired”? During previous years, the most loved lists have been really interesting, but now I cannot find a way to get this information except by visually comparing where the red dots are.

Chrome’s pop-up blocker prevents seeing the survey results with a simple click on the banner announcing the results. The blue and red dots on the admired/desired charts can be difficult to distinguish for some, and the legend is below the fold. Never use just color to distinguish data points. The methodology section does not explain how “admired” and “desired” were inferred from the have-worked-with and want-to-work-with responses. I suspect the details would explain why the desires were always higher than the admires. “Asynchronous” and “synchronous” tools are new terms to me, and I don’t recall seeing them in the survey questions. Looking at the list of tools in each section, it’s not 100% clear to me how to distinguish between them. (Yes, I have some sense of it, but it must not be complete because I’d switch some of them around.) As for collaboration tools, I’d wager that the most common ones are email and source control, and–perhaps–bug /task tracking and code review tools, yet I don’t see any of those in either list. There doesn’t seem to be a development categories for embedded systems, libraries/frameworks, and developer tools. For me, one of the biggest takeaways is how _overwhelmingly_ the interpreted programming language usage dominates that of compiled languages. I’d love to see more intersectional analysis around that.

why’s the article so…. short, saw some clip from the video you have a lot of graphs, why not put it here? like the usual dev survey result from past years?

On the results site, under “Admired and Desired”, I think the summaries for “Other frameworks and libraries” and “Other tools” are just restatements of the same thing. Plus, the mentioned items in the summary don’t even appear in “Other frameworks and libraries”.
