👩‍💻StackOverflow's 2019 Developer Survey Results👨‍💻 This year, nearly 90,000 developers took the survey. Here are some key results: - For the 7th year in a row, #JavaScript is the most commonly used programming language, but #Python has risen in the ranks again. - Over half of respondents had written their first line of code by the time they were 16, although this experience varies by country & by gender. - Respondents were asked to think about the last time they solved coding problems with & without #StackOverflow. The data indicate that Stack Overflow saves a developer 30 to 90 minutes of time per week! - About 65% of professional developers on Stack Overflow contribute to #OpenSource projects once a year or more. - #Reddit & #YouTube were the most common answers to what social media site they use the most. (No #Telegram in the list! Wtf, StackOverflow!?) 🔗 Read more here. 🚀@PerspectiveIX
