Whereas the recognition of jQuery is reducing, React.JS “is at present essentially the most extensively used client-side framework,” reports ZDNet, citing SlashData’s twenty third State of the Developer Nation report (compiled from greater than 26,000 builders final summer season from 163 international locations).
ZDNet consider it exhibits builders “experimenting much less and sticking with what they know and what works.”
JavaScript stays the biggest programming language group, SlashData discovered. In keeping with its analysis, there are an estimated 19.6 million builders worldwide utilizing JavaScript daily in every thing from internet improvement and cell apps to backend coding, cloud and sport design. Java, in the meantime, is rising quickly. Within the final two years, the scale of the Java group has greater than doubled from 8.3 million to 16.5 million, SlashData discovered. For perspective, the worldwide developer inhabitants grew about half as quick over the identical interval….
Python additionally continued to develop strongly, including about eight million new builders during the last two years, based on SlashData. It accredited the rise of knowledge science and machine studying as “a transparent consider Python’s rising reputation”. Roughly 63% of machine-learning builders and knowledge scientists report utilizing Python, whereas lower than 15% use R, one other programming language typically related to knowledge science.
Each the Kotlin and Rust communities doubled in measurement prior to now two years, the article factors out. However based on the survey, solely 9% of builders have been concerned in blockchain applied sciences.
But 27% of respondents reported they have been studying about (if not at present engaged on) cryptocurrency-based tasks. ZDNet summarizes the findings:
Of the three blockchain applied sciences coated within the report, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been discovered to be of least curiosity to builders: 58% confirmed “no curiosity” in NFTs, which SlashData stated was “seemingly resulting from its notion as a novelty”.
The report discovered that one-quarter (25%) of builders at present work on, or are studying about, blockchain functions aside from cryptocurrencies.
