The meaning is comically vague instead of just "used" "want to use", and also frustrating is they never allow sorting by admired for some reason. Edit: What do these words even mean in this context? It is so unnecessarily confusing. Admire - to feel respect and approval for Desire - an inclination to want things Why pick these 2 similar words... that don't match up with the survey question: "Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year" - so popularity? (what if you don't admire it?) "Which do you want to use" - desire The mouse-over seems to be sorted by the blue "Desire". But the list looks similar to a popularity list, except Go and Rust are above C#, C++, and Java. What is going on? Edit 2: The question does not directly map. A request to Stack Overflow, just label them: "Used and want to keep using" "Haven't used but want to" As a programmer reading charts, precision and clarity is better than ambiguity.
