There was also a Hacker News discussion about this survey: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18814084

I really like the concepts behind Semantic Web and Linked Data, but on the whole - in the broader developer world - the technologies continue to have a bit of an adoption problem.

With Solid and standards like ActivityPub there are renewed chances to popularize all the groundwork that has been laid over the years to a broader audience. I think @RubenVerborgh’s work in creating React components for Solid is very important in that regard. There may be similar opportunities in combining Solid technology with other popular de-facto standards, like e.g. GraphQL.
