Java may not be the most cloud-friendly of languages, but that hasn’t slowed down its usage, according to results from SlashData’s “State of the Developer Nation” report for the third quarter of 2022.
Just under half of the active developers worldwide (49%) reported that they use Java, compared with 39% who said so in Q3 2020 — an increase of 26%. Other languages seeing noteworthy increases in the survey since Q3 2020 include:
- Kotlin, a favorite of mobile developers that is compatible with the Java ecosystem (from 11% to 18%, a 64% increase).
- Python, vital to data analysis and automation (from 42% to 50%, a jump of 19%).
- Rust, the much-loved C++ alternative (moving from 4% to 8%, a 100% increase).
