Abstract

Ray, Devanbu and Filkov issued a rebuttal of our TOPLAS paper "On the Impact of Programming Languages on Code Quality: A Reproduction Study". Our paper reproduced "A Large-Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in GitHub", which appeared at FSE 2014 and was subsequently republished as a CACM research highlight in 2017. This article is a rebuttal to that rebuttal.
