For five years running, Rust has taken the top spot as the most loved programming language. TypeScript is second surpassing Python compared to last year. We also see big gains in Go, moving up to 5th from 10th last year.

Just curious: what are your thoughts on Microsoft owning TypeScript and Facebook owning Yarn, both of which Lemmy uses?
Not ideal but they’re both buildable from source. I think most modern shops saw what happened to java and aren’t keen to see that repeated for the languages they steward, so they have all the development out in the open.
I think there are subtle ways you can influence the environment just by being at the helm of the devspace (e.g. see google and chromium). So far both Typescript and Yarn are doing well though!
Does typescript have any sort of foundation or is microsoft basically in full control of it?
Weirdly enough Facebook’s open source project have good reputation. There was just a guy on lemmy who works at facebook but doesn’t use facebook itself at all and is a big open source contributor! :D
Somehow facebook is scooping up great engineers and give them enough freedom to release a bunch of stuff as open source software, it feels weird to praise facebook like this.
