Lots of constructive feedback on the slides. To the questions of the forges included in the study, we were going off of the snapshot of data that Black Duck had available. Because it isn't randomly sampled, it can't be considered representative of the industry as a whole. This is why you don't see any, for example, over-representation of the underperformance of PHP relative to competitive runtimes: this isn't broadly representative, and therefore those type of conclusions aren't justified.
Instead, we're looking at specific trends within the forges studied from an observational study perspective. Which tells us something about diversification as well as forge performance relative to one another. Nothing more, nothing less.
All of that said, I certainly hope we can expand the number of forges studied in future. Bitbucket in particular is of interest to me.
