I can't find the actual questions, so if anyone can reference them it may help to understand the answers more.
The "platform" part is at best ambiguous and at worst white noise.
It covers mobile & desktop OS's, "cloud" providers - both IaaS like AWS/Azure & SaaS like Salesforce - hardware platforms like Raspberry Pi and Arduino, buzzwords like "Serverless" and mainframe.
Apparently all of those things represent a "platform" that is in some way comparable, but Linux, BSD and Windows servers do not.
The "most popular languages" shows Javascript as the most popular with Sysadmin/DevOps.
I'm going to just assume the people answering subscript to the idea that "DevOps === Developers Doing Ops" (aka NoOps). I'm pretty confident actual Sysadmins don't use/prefer Javascript more than anything else.
- dagw 10y agoI'm pretty confident actual Sysadmins don't use/prefer Javascript more than anything else. I think that question was multiple choice. My guess is that most sysadmins use their favorite language and a bit of JavaScript when they have to, and since they all have different favorite languages javascript ends up 'winning'
- stephenr 10y ago> most sysadmins use their favourite language and a bit of JavaScript I think more likely is that every nodejs developer considers themselves "devops".
