JetBrains report highlights changes in the 2019 programming landscape
- JetBrains report highlights changes in the 2019 programming landscape
JetBrains has released its latest ‘State of Developer Ecosystem’ report which highlights some interesting changes in the programming landscape for 2019.
There’s little change at the very top of the language popularity list – Java is still the most popular, and JavaScript is the most used. Further down the list, we begin seeing interesting changes. Python, in particular, is a clear winner in the report.
Python has entered the top three primary languages and generates a lot of interest, with 27 percent of respondents claiming to have studied it within the last 12 months. Given Python’s use for machine learning and the associated salaries, it’s perhaps of little surprise.
Alongside Java, Python is also the most loved programming language. However, JetBrains notes that – if normalised by sample size – then C# comes out ahead in developers’ affection.

The pilot implementation of six months of internship will start from the 2019-20 academic year at 11 autonomous government polytechnic colleges in Maharashtra, including
one in Pune, and seven aided colleges elsewhere in the state .
The Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE)
has been mulling this initiative since the last two years.
It will be implemented from this academic year onwards, assistant director of MSBTE, Vijay Kolhe, said on Monday at a news conference. Joint director of technical education DR Nandanwar was also present.
There will be 2.5 years of theory and the remaining six months will be dedicated for students’ internships, said Kolhe.
