Dev tools that should be more popular according to the 2024 Developer Survey

The 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey asked participants to identify tools they used this year and those they plan to use next year. A tool is deemed “admired” if developers who used it this year intend to continue using it next year. By dividing the `used %` by the `admired %`, we can calculate an “underrated score.” I've compiled a list using this method, filtering for tools admired by >70%, and used by <10% of developers. I think there may be some hidden gems here!

Nice, but it could have a brief description (two or three words) of what they are. How can I give a chance to "Phoenix" or "Ruff" if I don't even know how to search on google about them...

  The survey didn’t explain what any of these are, so I didn’t want to make assumptions. Running the list through gpt-4o seems to have produced the correct annotations: - Phoenix (84% admire, 2% use) – Web development framework for Elixir. <https://www.phoenixframework.org/> - Ruff (84%, 3%) – Fast Python linter and code formatter. <https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff> - Elixir (77%, 2%) – Functional, concurrent language for scalable applications. <https://elixir-lang.org/> - Bun (76%, 4%) – Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager. <https://bun.sh/> - Hetzner (75%, 5%) – German web hosting and cloud service provider. <https://www.hetzner.com/> - Roslyn (74%, 2%) – .NET compiler platform for code analysis. <https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn> - Tauri (74%, 2%) – Lightweight framework for building desktop apps with web technologies. <https://tauri.app/> - Godot (74%, 4%) – Open-source game engine for 2D and 3D games. <https://godotengine.org/> - Zig (74%, 1%) – General-purpose programming language for better performance and safety. <https://ziglang.org/> - Signal (74%, 11%) – Secure messaging app with end-to-end encryption. <https://signal.org/> - Htmx (73%, 3%) – JavaScript library for dynamic HTML interactions. <https://htmx.org/> - Nix (73%, 3%) – Package manager for reproducible builds. <https://nixos.org/> - DataGrip (73%, 5%) – Database IDE by JetBrains for efficient SQL development. <https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/> - Hugging Face (73%, 5%) – AI community and platform for machine learning models. <https://huggingface.co/> - Pacman (73%, 5%) – Package manager for Arch Linux. <https://archlinux.org/pacman/> - Rider (73%, 6%) – Cross-platform .NET IDE by JetBrains. <https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/> - Svelte (73%, 7%) – JavaScript framework for building fast web applications. <https://svelte.dev/> - Astro (72%, 3%) – Modern static site builder for fast websites. <https://astro.build/> - Datomic (71%, 0.4%) – Distributed database designed for immutability. <https://www.datomic.com/> - ZMK (71%, 1%) – Open-source firmware for Bluetooth-enabled mechanical keyboards. <https://zmkfirmware.dev/> - Matrix (71%, 3%) – Open network for secure, decentralized communication. <https://matrix.org/> - DuckDB (70%, 1%) – Fast, in-process SQL OLAP database management system. <https://duckdb.org/> - Ktor (70%, 1%) – Framework for building asynchronous servers and clients in Kotlin. <https://ktor.io/> - Linear (70%, 3%) – Project management software for modern teams. <https://linear.app/>
