I might rank the love for Elixir higher. Go has a lot of detractors, in addition to the people who are getting a lot done with it. Comments often seem to think Haskell or its community is a little ridiculous. Lua always gets positive comments, maybe a 3.5. If we're including MySQL and PostgreSQL, SQLite should be way up there based on the universally positive comments. MongoDB might be ranked too high at 2, though people have begun to acknowledge that was because they tried to use it for the wrong task.

If PG gets 4 stars, I'd put MySQL at 2 or 3 based on all the comments that show up in MySQL stories: "Why didn't they use feature X in PG?" "MySQL kicked my dog and cheated with my significant other", etc.

Add: * * * * * WASM Dare to question the pragmatics of diverging web dev practices into a whole new realm of complexity and drown in downvotes - and a litany of people being downright personally insulting/condescending. This is sort of a corollary to JS being * (I think you ranked ES6 too high) and I've been inured to people hating/ranting against JS to a point - but even I was shocked by the personal rancor that oozes out if you try to have an objective discussion about whether the web really needs one more language.

  I agree, it would be more reasonable to rank JS-ES6 and Kotlin with 3.5* instead of 4. And Go with 4* instead of 4.5*.
