Your cited paper/review uses the methodology “if a commit was believed to have fixed a bug, then that was +1 defect for repository language X.” Ok, fine, that is a metric we can analyze, but to leap from that to language quality is a huge gap.
How serious was the bug? How long did it take to fix? What if developers of language X are less likely to say “bug fix” in their commit message?
The conclusion should be that we need more rigorous and insightful methodologies for studying programmers. We can’t make positive or negative conclusions from studies with weak methods.
I agree with you, but there's some interesting and important context to that paper. I'm getting drowned out in replies, though; send me a DM? Easier to go into more detail there
