Like I said - reports from users.

No - these are reports from users, not a systematic analysis.

I call this the Go paradox.
I simultaneously believe we should reach for it 80% of the time to solve common collaborative problems. And being a poorer language is actually an asset in these cases.
However, in doing so, we get rusty lose our fluency in more expressive, perhaps even better languages.
How does that work? Are they generating the same project in different languages and comparing the results? What does it mean for the code to be "better"?
It's anecdata and maybe, MAYBE, a spreadsheet. Or a Google Form somewhere.
