Perhaps this one?[0]

It doesn't match exact description and I also have vague memory of something similar, but not able to find it right now. Drew's post does a reasonably snarky job though :)

I'll have to read that. I seem to remember the page having orange elements like HN's, and the language rankings were displayed in tables. I thought it was a really good idea, although I have no idea when or how the initial survey was conducted. The ranking was pretty comprehensive both in the range of questions and the number of languages (although you'd have to wonder how many respondents had any experience with languages like Io or Oz.)
