It sounds like you are referring to a website called "The Hammer Principle" formerly hosted at hammerprinciple.com. The website went down shortly after the owner had collected all the data they wanted.

I collected a bunch of the data in a spreadsheet in March 2014 before the website went down. It covered 51 programming languages and 15 statements about them such as:

* Easy to tell what code does

* Language is expressive

* Code is very readable

* Code written is elegant

* I enjoy using this language

* I choose to use this language

* I would like to write more

* I can be sure code is correct

* This is a high level language

* Code is easy to maintain

* Encourages reusable code

* It is easy to write efficient code

* Code tends to be efficient

* Code tends to be reliable

* This language is good for teaching children

Looks like it was online longer than I thought and had a lot more questions added after March 2014.

Yes! That's the one!
