A couple of the questions were multiple-choice, e.g.: > If I was granted one new language feature today, I would ask for: They commented about it: > This was a tough question because only one choice was allowed, and the order in which the choices were listed may have influenced the replies. In retrospect, multiple choices presented in a randomized order would have been better. This is actually one of my pet peeves about many surveys (and indeed, electoral systems)--they often use single-choice answer format (plurality voting i.e. radio button) when they should really be using multi-choice format (approval voting i.e. checkboxes). I said as much when the results were initially announced: > There’s no reason to restrict the question to only one option, and allowing multiple choices (i.e., approval voting), allows people to express preferences in a more nuanced way so you get a more accurate overall view of what the community is interested in.
