In an attempt to make its survey more representative of the diversity of programmers worldwide, Stack Overflow reached out and collected the opinions of nearly 65,000 developers. The survey covers a broad spectrum of topics under 4 main categories: Developer Profile, Technology, Work and Community.
One thing to keep in mind is that the survey was conducted in February before the COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. Nevertheless, the results are still very interesting!
Here’s a sneak peek from this year’s survey:
- Τhe most beloved language: Rust
- The most commonly used programming language: JavaScript
- The most dreaded programming language: VBA
- Top 3 web frameworks: jQuery, React.js and Angular
- Developers’ primary operating system: Microsoft
- On developer type: The most common combinations include back-end, front-end, and full-stack developer.
Also, 75% of respondents noted that they learn a new technology at least every few months or once a year. This highlights the fact that learning is paramount to any succeeding developers. As innovations happen quickly, we have to keep up. Another interesting fact is that more than 75% of developers said they work overtime at least occasionally. As developers shift to working from home, they sometimes find it hard to set boundaries and maintain a healthy work-life balance. In our QuaranTeam Playbook, we share useful tips on how to create rituals, connect and spend quality time with your peers and loved ones.
