This is only tangentially related, but I remember seeing a site a few years ago that ranked languages by crowdsourcing about 100 subjective comparisons between different pairs of languages. It made statements like:
- Programs written in this language tend to work
correctly the first time they are accepted by the
compiler
- The type system in this language helps me to be more
productive
- Code written in this language is easy to read and
understand at a glance
- I would choose this language to write a desktop GUI
application in
and asked people to choose which of a pair of languages each statement applied more to. The data could be ranked by language or question, and I found it really useful and discovered a few languages I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. But for the life of me, I can't find the site anymore. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
