In this particular taxonomy, programmers are software developers [0]. The about-page [1] says ESCO is meant to work as a dictionary providing a common language on occupations and skills. That's all well and good. I just hope no one in the EU is tempted to use the ESCO classification in a formal manner (it reminds me of when I was a captain in the USAF, and my designated role was 3055 Comm-Electronics Engineer). They'll never keep up. For example, the Software Developer occupation lists a lot of programming languages and frameworks under "Optional Knowledge", but I was disappointed to see that the list doesn't include C, Go, or Rust.
