USA is on top. That's not really interesting, since the USA is a very big country.

We know big countries are big.

What would be much more interesting, is a list of countries sorted relative to the number of inhabitants, so you get a better view on how involved people are in certain countries.

I’d be interested in both absolute figures and contribution normalised by population.

The former, absolute contribution per country, could help us contextualise the survey answers — seeing Baidu as the most popular search engine in a survey would be a surprise until you learn that participants are mostly China-based. The same scenario could apply for government-funded open-source project and AI tools.

This new proposal informs us of the popularity of the survey within a nation. Knowing the results will be positively skewed towards countries that generally have more of the survey’s target audience, I’m still very interested in this.
