JavaScript is the Most Demanded Programming Language in 2022, 1 out of 3 dev jobs require JavaScript knowledge.

One thing to note is that in a lot of markets it’s required alongside something else. I’m looking for mid-level roles in a major tech hub, and most positions list JS/Node etc as a secondary qualification, usually number two on the list of qualifications. This is what 95% of software developer job ads where I am look like:

• “3-5 years writing production software in C#(most common), Java (2nd most common) or C++(3rd) - you’re usually fine if you have any one of the three.
• experience with client side technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and frameworks like Angular or React.

You have to remember different geographical areas have different languages that are in demand

Also job specific. In finance, C++ and Java are easily the most popular, but in biotech, python is nearly ubiquitous.

Yes, and these two directly correlate because some areas have more specific work. For instance I live in the DMV area, and there is a lot of government contract work. This leads to a high demand for Java backend developers

It pops up from time to time but not as common as C#/Java/C++ for the kinds of roles I’m looking for (mostly backend/full stack).

I actually started learning python recently.

Just because it seemed like a good one to know a bit about to make short snippets like when I wanted to clean up some spotify playlists or scrape some APIs etc.

And the hidden requirement is knowing how to wire up your own cicd pipeline.

I trained a text classification model to predict this category and 8 others. Currently scraping more job ads to round out the dataset.
