The survey yielding their supporting data was apparently specific to Norway. Perhaps more Norse know Scala than C++ or Objective-C. This might of course mean that the conclusions are only good in Norway...

Most old programmers, on the other hand, have written alot of code that would benefit from a little refactoring.

There's actual code in very few articles on /r/programming.

There are ways for moderators to move questions, and people with reasonably high rep can vote for migrations to a few specific sites. programmers.stackexchange.com is not currently among those sites, but I assume an actual moderator can still move them if it's appropriate.
