Great job as always.

However, I miss a box in which I can put additional comments for certain questions. Especially the part on technical aspects I dislike. A few key aspects are not mentioned.

The following questions are missing in the survey:

> [@At present, in what aspects is Julia still relatively weak compared to other mainstream programming languages?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/at-present-in-what-aspects-is-julia-still-relatively-weak-compared-to-other-mainstream-programming-languages/109583/19):

Thank you! We did not see this since it was not posted in the thread requesting survey feedback, but will make a note of these questions for next year.

Thank you! We will correct q14 and I will check on Controls.
