I'm not a PHP user, nor do I like PHP, but I do know plenty of PHP users that are quite productive with the language.

There's no scale on the vertical axis to compare different curves. You can only compare the productivity and the self-assessment within a language.

Good point. Darn my brain for being conditioned to drawing concrete correlations from graphs.

But you can compare derivatives. Which is the stab at PHP.
