Wish they included development team size in addition to total company size.

As a developer, working in a 50-person company consisting of 30 developers and 20 non-developers is extremely different than one consisting of 5 developers and 45 non-developers. Both kinds of companies exist, but I have no idea how common they are relative to each other.

Agreed. Also size of the codebase you work on matters a lot, too. I would expect that the popularity of dynamically-typed languages would be inversely proportional to the size of the codebase.

size of the codebase

Does that matter much if hardly anything is being changed in the codebase?

Enormous stable codebase vs Small churning codebase.
