- phhlho 11y agoI wonder if it's actually decreasing in popularity or StackOverflow is just becoming increasingly popular with other languages. Looking at the number of responses to that question, there are lots more people taking the survey in the last two years! 2013 - 8042 2014 - 6537 2015 - 21982 2016 - 49397
- dhogan 11y agoWell. It didn't decrease as much. Perhaps it's just taking a moment to reverse the momentum.
- icefox 11y agoThere is probably a correlation to the slow rise of the mac platform and the slow fall of the OS X platform. http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#technology-desktop-operating-system http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#tech... There are a ton of developers that will choose whatever language they have available and if developers are switching to mac they wont be reaching for C#. Then you have those that have moved on to F#. Objective-C has the same problem for those that have moved to swift. It is weird to think that next year perhaps 1/3 of SO developers will be on OS X. That is such a huge amount. And in the last decade Linux has absolutely won the server market. It is going to take some time for the clr on Linux project to stop the bleed from projects that moved off c# just to move off of Windows servers.
