Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2020
insights.stackoverflow.com
Nearly 65,000 took this comprehensive, annual survey of people who code. Demographics. Most loved, dreaded and wanted technologies. Salary and careers.

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.

    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!
