- Fishkins 3y agoThis is a survey conducted by JetBrains, whose primary product is a Java/Kotlin IDE. They do support other languages, but their audience is almost certainly skewed toward JVM users.
- dijit 3y agoAdditional: Some languages really do lean on IDEs. Java and C# are prime among those languages. Writing Java or C# without an IDE is painful. Writing Python or C without and IDE simply lacks creature comforts. So any demographics used for a survey of an IDE company will skew for "IDE focused" languages. All else being equal.
- miroljub 3y agoYou may be surprised, but in Europe, it's difficult to find a company that doesn't use Java (or .Net). Node does exist, but it's not where the money is.
