Developer Hiring Trends in 2017
- nerdywordy 10y agoReact is obvious, it's included with nearly every front-end posting these days whether the company uses it or not. But other than that it looks like it is a good time to be a data engineer or a Gopher. I'm surprised that Go is the only high growth language, but I guess it coincides with Docker/DevOps/Sysadmin growth.
- jbpetersen 10y agoIMO Go is a spiritual sequel to Java. Both strongly focus on programming for multiple platforms by large teams.
- adamnemecek 10y agoI don't think that go puts as much emphasis on cross platform.
- closeparen 10y agoIt's the spiritual successor for Java running on servers - supporting Linux and OSX is all that's necessary.
- jimmywanger 10y agoWhy OsX? Just for local development purposes? I don't think I've seen any OsX servers except as build machines for iOS builds.
- closeparen 10y agoYes.
- asafira 10y agoIs the main plot a little confusing? At least, I'm a little confused: the x-axis is labelled "% change from 2016 to 2015", and for example ReactJS has gone up by over 150% from 2016 to 2015...which means there was more ReactJS demand in 2015, right? except the article says it is the other way. Am I missing something?
- k1t 10y agoI'm sure it's just a typo (years reversed) and should read: "% change from 2015 to 2016"
- eDameXxX 10y agoI'm little surprised the high demand of Windows (desktop) developers vs low (even negative growth) in case of OSX Developers.

- orbitur 10y agoiOS may be popular but it also seems very much tied to onsite work. Whenever I do remote-specific job searches there's 100x more remote opportunities for web devs.
