What is your primary programming language in 2026?

Poll ends: January 31, 2026

Every year, we survey our community to understand the shifting landscape of programming languages. This data helps companies make hiring decisions, developers plan their learning paths, and educators design their curricula.

What We're Seeing So Far

TypeScript continues its dominant streak, reflecting the industry's embrace of type safety in the JavaScript ecosystem. Python holds strong, driven by the AI and data science boom. The most interesting trend? Rust's rapid climb—it's doubled its share from last year.

Why Your Vote Matters

  • Helps shape industry trends and hiring practices
  • Influences which languages get more tooling investment
  • Guides educational institutions in curriculum planning
  • Provides valuable data for the open source community

We'll publish the full results with detailed analysis at the end of January. Stay tuned for breakdowns by industry, experience level, and region.
