There are some hidden assumptions, hidden variables, and hidden biases in what
at first sight seems a simple questionnaire. Having said this, for many people
it is just a simple questionnaire that is fine and reasonable, so it is not a
big deal in the scheme of things. I am in conversation with the person who is
running the questionnaire, so things are in hand.

Damn, sorry, did not see that its the same link Guillaume posted a few 
days back... *insertanimatedgifofyellowballhittingitshead*
Anyway, since people criticized the survey: I did not find anything 
suspicious, the questions looked fine to me, I did not think the answers 
were manipulative and the survey did not take long - so I add my voice 
to Guillaume's suggesting you invest 5 minutes of your time... :-)

If you have not already taken the language/tools/libraries survey 
(called "one of the largest surveys of Java developers" in the latest 
Java Magazine mail (May/June 2018 Edition) ;-) ), go here:

https://snykteam.typeform.com/to/V4LOUZ
and vote for Groovy (and the other tools/etc you use) !

Full disclaimer: Snyk is evidently selling this: https://snyk.io/ 
("Snyk helps you use open source and stay secure. Continuously find & 
fix vulnerabilities in your dependencies").


Never heard of them, but wondering if that
https://snyk.io/test ("Test my GitHub repositories: Get alerted when 
new vulnerabilities are found in your dependencies, and automatic pull 
requests when a fix is available.")

might be interesting for Groovy ?*
