Looks ok overall. I expected more discussion of the paper's findings / contributions and more critique of the study design -- why is the choice of methods appropriate given the research question(s)?

The authors view that user studies are an essential portion of programming language design. Many popular languages have changed their capabilities over time once widespread adoption happened. The related works section for this paper is a short two paragraphs. The literature on how to do programming language design is small and not directly tied to addressing programming language design. There is a gap in a systematic way in improving programming language design, probably because it is somewhat subjective and very hard to test directly. The work is very relevant to the large amount of language designers creating and introducing new languages. |

Can you be more specific about what the problem, gap, and hook are? Take a look at the Lingard readings here.
