There are some good papers there, thanks for sharing the link. A few years ago I presented a paper at PPIG on some studies we had done on C#: http://www.ppig.org/papers/13th-clarke.pdf. Since then I and my colleagues have done some similar work looking at API usability. For example: http://www.ppig.org/papers/18th-stylos.pdf.
Hope this helps.
