Yeah it wasn't shortlisted in the comparison. But it has been a write in since they added the option in 2020.

I do think there is a sort of hype mentality here. Solid had less write ins in 2020 and got shortlisted. It was a big year for us but it is largely a matter of momentum at a given time rather than long term stability of the project.
Great write-up! But regarding the whole "State of JS is all hype!" thing, I think this is a case where the "it's a feature not a bug" meme applies. The whole point of the survey is to find out what people are most excited about (what's getting the most "hype") right now, and then dig deeper to find out over time if there's substance behind the hype.
Solid came in 5th in the Rising Stars rankings this year, so that's why it was short-listed. I'm excited to see if the "hype" (I'm really starting to hate that word…) pays off or not next year!
Oh I know. Now we have expectations to uphold. ..sweat..
I appreciate the inclusion. I especially think the positive/negative graph is a great. As it gives a really nice overall picture. I find the gap between mindshare and usage really interesting so I'm very appreciative of the work that goes into survey's like this. I think they do have an important role to play regardless of the criticisms people level at them. I do a lot of benchmarking at that equally needs the proper skepticism for results but it still is valuable.
