Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023
survey.stackoverflow.co
In May 2023 over 90,000 developers responded to our annual survey about how they learn and level up, which tools they're using, and which ones they want.

Rust is in the top when it comes to most loved languages. I also note that they claim Windows is the most used OS, but when you summarize the different Linux distros, then Linux is more used professionally and almost as popular for Personal use.

    when you summarize the different Linux distros

    Correct me if im wrong: If we add up all personal use cases, we get a number hihger than 100%. Same thing with professional use cases. That means users didnt choose just one option in the survey, but multiple. So adding up all distros will give us an inflated number, where there could easily be duplicates (e.g. someone chose both ubuntu and arch. That should be one vote for linux instead of two).

      If that is the case, then I do not really see the point with this question, since it is far more interesting to know the percentage of Linux developers than what particular distro they use. It becomes a comparison of apples and oranges.

    Shoutouts to the 0.08% of people who are apparently using Haiku for professional work.

    I’m surprised in-office work only increased 2% with all the anti-wfh sentiment I’m seeing lately
