I wasn't in my current role when that survey was taken. To be 
honest, I'd forgotten it'd happened (even though I participated!) 
and can't even remember if it was one or two years ago.

I'm happy it was brought up again, and even though there's no way 
of telling what the results would be now other than doing another 
survey, I'll make a point of taking a look at it going forward.

String interpolation was very popular at that survey and that's 
happening.
