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
I think failure to find an effect is evidence against the existence of a *big* effect, even if the study is bad. Big effects are easy to find and hard to hide. In this case, though, there is other good evidence against the existence of a big effect.
So I think we should at least consider it more likely than not that the choice of programming language (among those we have, not in principle, and maybe not in every case) does not have a big effect, certainly enough to make it the default working assumption.
