Sure, I participated in that study (by contributing a sample in Perl). The research was the work of a man named Lutz Prechelt. He published a paper entitled "An Empirical Comparison of Seven Programming Languages". CiteSeer has an entry for this paper, and has cached PDF and PostScript versions of it.

    Thank you for the reference. Having re-read the results, my summary was inaccurate in a number of particulars (one reason that I try to double-check information before I post). However my memory was in some sense "morally correct".

    I'd suggest that anyone who finds the topic interesting should skim the original paper and discover for yourself how I was wrong, and in what sense I was right.
