We collected data for 10 programming languages/skills that we filtered from the Stack Overflow survey based on perceived popularity and available data. So, if you feel that some basic language or structure is missing, please let us know. The 20 skills tested are (in alphabetical order): Bash/Shell/Power shell, C, C#, C++, Go, HTML/CSS, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scala, SQL, Swift, TypeScript, VBA.
Python, SQL and Java are the most published software skills
We counted the number of times each language appeared in a job posting on Indeed. This ranges from about 2,500 great jobs with Golang at the bottom to 84,000 pending jobs for Python at the top. SQL is second only to Python, but we found that in many cases it was necessary to combine SQL with many other skills.
Around 500,000 applications are currently pending for these 20 competencies.2/3 concern the first five:
- Pythons
- SQL
- Java
- JavaScript
- C++ C# HTML/CSS
- ruby
- pearls
- C Bash/Shell/PowerShell PHP
- Fast
- Typescript Scale
The bottom three are Objective-C, Kotlin, and Go, which account for fewer than 8,000 great jobs.
Hiring a Scala, Go or Perl developer is the most expensive
While not literally one of the most sought-after software skills, Go is certainly one of the relatively rare skills. Looking at developer salaries, Go tops the list:
- Scale
- Go
- pearls
- lens-C
- ruby
- Kotlin
- C
- Swift
- Bash/Shell/PowerShell
- Java
The most in-demand Perl, VBA, and C++ programmers
It is also interesting to see which software skills are becoming more or less expensive. This tells us if the relative demand for those skills is increasing. In other words, which skills become more of a challenge at the source?
Based on data from Dice, we ranked the salary level on offer by skill and compared it to last year. What was noticeable was the relatively poor dynamics of "expensive" skills like Scala, Go, Objective-C, and Kotlin (all four in the bottom five). Microsoft-related skills have become more important: VBA (Visual Basic for Applications, a language developed by Microsoft for its applications), C# (the core language of .NET) and even C (the heart of most operating systems is C). whose dynamics are neutral.
- VBA
- C++
- PHP
- C#
- JavaScript
- ruby
- SQL
- C
- Go
- typescript
On average, Perl, Ruby, and C++ are the three most requested programming skills
What if we combined all of these and created an equivalent ranking based on the number of open job postings, salary levels, and salary dynamics? This should give us a good idea of what programming skills will be most in demand in the coming year.
- Perl
- ruby
- C++
- Pythons
- SQL C#
- Java
- JavaScript
- C
- Go
- Bash/Shell/PowerShell
This is an exciting result since Perl and Ruby are widely considered to be doomed languages. But if we look at the actual number of open positions, they still occupy 8th and 9th place. And perhaps the negative press they've received has prevented developers from considering them as a new ability, resulting in a relative scarcity led in the process. While they may not be the most popular languages in the long run, in the short term they will be at the top of our most in-demand programming skills.
