Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2021: 

Best programming languages 2021

One of the largest programmers community presents its annual statistics. These statistics contain all the information you need to know about programming and development in the year. And the fields that have become more in demand than others, and the programming languages that are no longer necessary in the lives of developers and software companies.

These statistics help all developers and programmers to know their cognitive status in the field of programming, to know if they should continue to use the techniques they use in programming, or they should make changes in their educational mechanics. We aim to simplify these statistics in ways that are better for users and readers to understand more easily.

The most popular and used programming languages in 2022

According to the Stackoverflow platform and its pioneers, it identifies the most popular programming languages based on the number of searched words and topics related to those languages. And because Stackoverflow is so popular and global, it's hard to overlook its stats.

JavaScript has always been at the forefront, and it has been since 2019, it is a programming language used in almost any project of any kind, and it is rarely abandoned. The JavaScript here represents not only JS, but all the libraries, frameworks, and technologies that depend on it.

HTML/CSS Although they are not two programming languages, they are essential to use on the web, and no website can be created without them. They are the two pillars upon which a website rests to advance itself.

SQL and Python are among the top 5 most popular programming languages, and this is normal, followed by the Typescript supported in the most popular JavaScript frameworks as well.

You may notice a decline in some programming languages compared to last year, such as GO, Rust, and Kotlin. While some languages remained in the same positions, such as C++ and C#. And if you think PHP is overdue, check the statistics again.

Most popular programming languages by developers in 2022

When assigning a task to the developer, the first thing he will do is to choose the best programming language that is suitable for him and that is easy to use from his point of view. Or just adored using it to develop any kind of software. Here's what the developers loved this year.

Rust language has maintained its lead as the most loved language by users, as it is easy to use, simple, and hundreds of lines of code can be summarized in just dozens. And do not forget the strength of its performance compared to similar languages.

Elixir and Clojure are ahead of one reason (in our view) that they are the most profitable or most profitable programming languages. If you are a Clojure developer, for example, you can make at least $100,000 annually.

Typescript has wide uses, especially in frameworks such as React, Vuejs and Angular, which are used today in many projects that facilitate the use of web technologies.

Other languages like Python and Julia are always easy options for developing complex software, which is why they rank well among the list of the most popular programming languages by developers.

Most profitable programming language in 2022

If money is all that matters to you (greedy 😅), Stackoverflow has ranked programming languages according to the value of the income that accrues to the programmer. In addition to knowing the annual income paid by companies operating in these languages. To get the following classification:

As mentioned earlier, Clojure is the most profitable programming language in the world, despite its annual income declining (it was $130,000 in last year's statistics, today it's $106,000). It is followed by Erlang, F#, and then Lisp. And you may be wondering, why in the world are these languages not among the best programming languages if they have a great income?

There are two main reasons for this: the rarest is the most expensive, and the most demanded is the most expensive. Giant companies such as Google or Microsoft do not require Python developers, for example, but rather need developers in these categories. Because they are rare, their income is very high. You can find a hundred Python developers, and you can hardly find a seasoned Erlang developer.

Programming languages such as Ruby, Scala, and Go are among the medium-popular and good in terms of income as well. So these are the top 3 statistics related to programming languages according to StackOverFlow statistics. You can explore more via the source from
