  • A few thoughts:

    • Most “popular” programming language should probably be “most used”. Whether people like it is a different metric
    • Microsoft SQL Server is #4 in used SQL servers? I can only imagine it’s because their are so many windows computers
    • jQuery is still used? I thought it was dead 😮
    • CMake is on the “embedded technologies” list along with gcc, clang, and cargo. how are those “embedded technologies”? they can be used for anything…
    • .NET is the most used framework? Wat? Was this mostly shared by Microsoft engineers and game devs?
    • Linux is split into distros - why not group them as “linux”? By the numbers that’d make nearly 40% of devs using Linux…
    • GDscript is now at 65% admired - dunno if it was even on the list last year?
    • Admired vs Desired feels like wrong terminology? I kind of get what they want to say, but not really. I was expecting Used vs Desired

    In total, this survey doesn’t seem representative, but maybe it’s because I work with backend engineers and have friends who avoid frontend and mostly use Linux. Something just seem very questionable (like all the microsoft technologies being so high up). Seems to me like respondents are a specific type of person who would answer such a survey. I also wasn’t aware of the survey at all and wonder how people even know about it.
