From 2016... "loved" means people using the language want to keep using it. https://techbeacon.com/highlights-stack-overflow-2016-developer-survey
So probably more like, 2 out of 3 people using Smalltalk this year would like to / expect to be using it next year, which seems more realistic. Notice also that Rust and Smalltalk are absent from the "Dreaded" list. Being on that list may downgrade the "love" of mainstream languages. It would seem people don't use mainstream languages because they love them. And the corollary is, that you only use a non-mainstream language if you love it. Keep your eye out for the raw data dump http://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey If we can validate where our high "loved" rating comes from, all the above make good marketing points. Now what might be an good marketing hack would be a live video showing... * downloading StackOverflow survey data via Zinc, * browsing returned data with GTInspector, * in the debugger, creating/molding some basic classes around the data, * graphing the data in Roassal and/or Grafoscopio So when our target audience of "programmers" go searching ways to analyse the data, up comes Pharo showing them a way to do it. cheers -ben .

This is really strange. Because according to the survey every 2 our of 3 participants identified Smalltalk as a language they love. However Iâd say that only 1 of every 20 developers that I meet knows what Smalltalk is.
