    There are many ways to measure a programming language’s popularity, but we believe examining job demand is most useful because it shows developers the skills to learn to improve their career prospects.

        I have wondered on the first line in the Java paragraph. Do they have a time machine?

        Quote:

        Java decreased in popularity by about 6,000 job postings in 2018 compared to 2017, but is still extremely well-established

            Indeed! I was going to comment on that line myself along with my general feeling that the people at CodingDojo don't seem to know very much at all about code (a little ironic when you pick a name like CodingDojo). While they mention that Swift might not appear in a more general iOS developer ad, they don't seem to notice that the same could apply to say C# or PHP in ads for full-stack .NET or LAMP devs - surely, this kind of makes the "get a load of job adverts and do a grep -c" approach just a tad unreliable to start with. There's also the minor problem that job ads, as we all know from experience, are frequently for jobs that don't actually exist and just a way for pimps to get hold of CVs. That, and the probability that their method counts an add for one X developer in the same way as they count an ad for forty Y developers ... And then there's the simple fact that it's still 2017. All in all, a terrible waste of pixels. An E-minus of a piece which should be downgraded to an F on account of the Javascript comment.

            98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

              A big problem with this nonsense is that it doesn't account for multiple and repeated postings for the same job because they can't find any sucker developer. Plus they give equal weight to a posting which lists multiple languages. I recently worked a contract where the test suite for one, relatively minor, part of the code was in Python--it was barely a nice-to-have, but HR would probably list it on an Indeed posting (the company actually hired me through a recruiter and Python never came up.)
