21st SlashData’s Developer Nation global survey

21st SlashData’s Developer Nation global survey

The 21st SlashData’s Developer Nation global survey reached more than 19,000 developers in 168 countries. Its findings are packed in a free “State of the Developer Nation” report (available at https://www.slashdata.co/free-resources/state-of-the-developer-nation-21st-edition).

This research delves into key developer trends for Q3 2021 and beyond with a focus on six major topics:
1. Most popular and fastest-growing programming language communities
2. The developers at the heart of the 5G and IoT revolution
3. What makes developers leave their employer
4. The stages of the Machine Learning and Data Science Workflow
5. Developers who build apps and extensions for third-party platforms
6. Technology in game development

Sneak peek at the highlights

Language Communities:
- JavaScript is the most popular programming language by a wide margin, with nearly 16.5M developers using it globally.
- Rust has grown faster than any other language in the last 24 months, nearly tripling in size, from just 0.4M developers in Q3 2019 to 1.1M in Q3 2021.
- Since it surpassed Java in popularity at the beginning of 2020, Python has remained the second most widely adopted language behind JavaScript, with 11.3M users.

The developers at the heart of the 5G and IoT revolution:
- Greater China is the epicentre of the 5G revolution for software developers. In this region, 82% of developers are interested in, learning about, or working with 5G technologies.
- Manufacturing, smart cities, and digital twin technology are the IIoT markets in which we find most IIoT professionals working with 5G. Digital twin technology particularly appeals to professional IIoT 5G developers, compared to IIoT developers without interest in 5G.

What would make you leave your employer?
- Many developers know their worth - just one in ten developers say that nothing would make them leave their current employer.
- Around a quarter of developers could be tempted to move by a remote position - software development has historically been a pioneering industry for remote working and the pandemic has likely made this especially salient.
