As I told some of my co-workers today:

If you read the fine print, the actual statistic is “% of developers who are 
developing with the language or tech but have not expressed interest in 
continuing to do so.” Clearly, it’s not a good list to be on, but developer 
behavior also doesn’t reflect their stated intent. NPM Stats show the number of 
Cordova downloads has actually doubled since the same time last year. 

Again, I don’t think this is a good list to appear on… I’m just not sure what 
to make of it given developer behavior.

It's interesting that CoffeeScript is on this list and that it passed Cordova 
in most dreaded.  I also wonder what would happen if we went on the WordPress 
mailing list and talked about how people were so unhappy with WordPress.
