I'm much more fascinated by the languages that made both lists. Any language (Haskell and Scala as well as---inexplicably---HTML, SQL and Shell programming) that makes both a 'most dreaded' and 'most loved' is probably interesting enough to investigate)
p.s. I must confess some disappointment at no Lisps on either initial list, especially on a Y Combinator site, but I think Haskell has usurped the "Language beloved by people who make it very clear they think they're better than you" throne. I blame Norvig's defection to Python.
pps: Shell? HTML? SQL? Really? Also: VBA is still a thing? Ewwww.
