DevJobsScanner has analyzed more than 12 million developer job openings over the past 14 months (October 2021 to November 2022) and selected those with a clear need for a programming language. The 8 most popular programming languages.

The top eight languages ​​with the highest demand in the market are:

1. JavaScript / TypeScript

JavaScript has remained popular since its creation.Currently, Javascript remains the most in-demand programming language in the overall market; and The arrival of TypeScript may also have pushed this milestone forward. TypeScript’s popularity has only grown in recent years, and many new JavaScript frameworks, such as Angular or NestJS, are written entirely in TypeScript.

From October 2021 to November 2022 (fourteen months), DevJobsScanner found a total of 801K job opportunities,Occupy jobs with clear programming language requirementsAbout 31%.

2. Python

Python becomes the second most in-demand programming language in 2022.DevJobsScanner say,Its versatility, from scripting and running servers to data analysis, has been key to achieving this milestone. Also, Python has one of the greatest and larger communities.

Over the 14 months, researchers identified 515,000 jobs, or 20 percent.

3. Java

Java is the third most-demanded programming language and has been very popular since its creation in 1995. Although this popularity has declined over the past few years with the advent of more modern languages ​​such as Kotlin, it still holds the top three positions firmly.The presence of many well-known companies using frameworks like Spring also helps Java maintain this position.

4. C#

C# is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, object-oriented programming language created primarily to address some of the weaknesses of C++. As a general-purpose language, C# has a wide range of use cases. The most common usage of C# is with the .NET Framework. It is also heavily used for scripting in the Unity game framework. Both .NET Framework and Unity are popular among top companies.

• Jobs Found: 305K (~12%)
• Keywords: c#, .net.

5. PHP

PHP, born 27 years ago, has beenStill the fifth most in-demand programming language.Over the 14 months, researchers identified 226,000 relevant job opportunities, or about 10 percent.

6. C/C++

since It has been 50 years since the first release of the C language, and 37 years have passed since the birth of C++. The original name of C++ was “C with Classes”. During this long time window, C/C++ has maintained its popularity through regular additions and improvements to the language. Modern C++ includes features such as object orientation and generics. It has a wide range of applications in the industry, and C++ can be seen in many places such as video games, servers, databases, and even space probes.

• Jobs Found: 213K (~8%)
• Keywords: c, c++.

7. Ruby

Ruby came in seventh, finding 125,000 jobs (about 5% of total job demand). Its most popular use is in conjunction with the Web framework Ruby on Rails.Although the top sevendoesn’t look very highbut Ruby is used in some of today’s largest tech companies, such as Twitter, Crunchbase or Github.

8. Go

Go is a young language created by Google 12 years ago. Google designed Go to make programming more productive in the age of multi-core, networked machines, and large code bases. Go’s popularity is slowly growing as shown in the graph below,DevJobsScanner It is expected that the language may enter the top five by 2023. Companies like Uber, Twitch, and others are using Go.

Most Demanded Programming Languages ​​(Complete List)

Here is a complete chart of programming languages ​​and their respective requirements in 2022:

and the same view broken down by month:

Summarize

DevJobsScanner Pointing out, it’s clear that Javascript and Typescript do dominate the developer job market. Javascript and Typescript together account for 31% of jobs that explicitly require a programming language, meaning that almostOne out of every three job opportunities requires Javascript or Typescript.

Python and Java are the second and third most in-demand programming languages, respectively, in 2022, providing plenty of employment opportunities. But it’s worth noting that Java is closing the gap on Python, with months of Java in the survey The number of job opportunities exceeds Python. “Thus, those who say Java is an obsolete programming language may need to rethink their wording.”

C#, C/C++, and PHP are also languages ​​to watch because of their consistent upward trend. For example, in October 2021, the demand for PHP only accounted for about 5% of the total demand, but by November 2022, it accounted for nearly 10%, almost doubling.
