I think this survey was populated without any thought.

1. it does not specify to whom this website belongs to, neither what the purpose of this survey is

2. in programming languages, there's not even one lisp dialect. In a survey. For Emacs. :p

[Edit]: correction for 2, as there's clojure. Thanks anamexis.

Right?

In terms of time spent programming in Emacs, my dominant languages would be C, C++, C#, Scheme, ELisp and Ruby.

Seems odd to leave out the language Emacs was written in.

[jimhefferon]

Also left out LaTeX.

[anamexis]

I generally agree, but re #2, there is Clojure.

[_cipher_]

Yes, you are correct! Thanks.

Shame though that neither common lisp or scheme are present.

I think it’s because the took the list from the stack overflow developer survey. Probably they’re hoping to pick up more general emacs users and not emacs package developers

[guenthert]

Elisp can be used by package developers, but it is really meant to be used by Emacs users. In that, Emacs is fundamentally different than other editors. Users are not only enabled, but encouraged to extend their editor.

[dan-robertson]

Yes, but if you are using emacs for other work, you are hopefully spending most of your time doing that and not writing emacs lisp.

[anoncake]

Elisp wasn't included either, but I guess the question above covers that.
