It was also boosted by Apple in the first place! so nothing natural about these kind of trends. If Google and FB hadn't picked up Python for ML it wouldn't have taken off as much, which is also to say if they (or another large pl

Irrespective of whether Julia ends up the winner of the shift or if the shift happens, it is quite possible for trends to reverse very fast. See Perl or Objective-C for that matter. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/per

As bad as the drop might be the population is still reasonably big. The worse part is how the demographic pyramid is predicted to look like, mostly older folks with a small consuming portion. https://www.populationpyramid.net&#x2

Thanks for sharing, good to know. I think it also speaks to the shady underside of the coding camps that they always seem to advertise some random person doing some side jobs, then they do a coding bootcamp and boom! they are into tech. Lit

Well, the business model, without any controversy, requires a lot of upfront investment. You essentially provide training (hence the educators, materials etc..) for 'free' and recoup the investment later when the coding camp gradu

Now that the tech bubble and hoarding of tech talent by big tech has ended, what is the future of these coding bootcamps? It seems just like many businesses that get started during low/zero interest times, this was clearly a boom time

A very specific survey limited to Hired.com so not sure if this generalizes. Lot of times a percentage change is provided starting from a small base giving the wrong impression (RoR having high demand, NLP engineer top role etc..) With that

Julia will read 2π (fixed:thx kps) as 2 times pi which follows the mathematical notation. In all the other languages you have mentioned, I believe even if you can represent pi in Unicode (π) you will have to write 2*π. This can become very
