They seem to only use quantitative data so it might not say much, or rather infer too much, but good research is difficult. For instance, how did those libraries come to exist? How do you discriminate between different levels of decision makers? How do you distinguish between influencers and followers? Are decisions technical or social in reality? Are you sure that old and young programmers define programming skills on the same scale? Who choose to participate in surveys? Are open source projects representative of closed source? Is there a difference between hobby and professional activites? Can you find counterexamples? Are certain types of software dominating the survey, e.g. web?
Counter examples: Rust, C++, Haskell...
In short, it says nothing of use. We dont try to attract 50% of all programmers. Even 1% would be huge!
