monkchips: Built by some of the same people that created the language… Sogrady: Probably doesn’t hurt also that one of the most popular tools, VS Code, is written in TypeScript. Tools are such an important part of developer productivity. Rachel: TypeScript’s focus on being tool-friendly is also huge. Monkchips: Can’t overstate the truth of the point made by The Javascript Typescript adjacency is very very powerful as a vector for adoption. Sogrady: Safety is popular these days for many reasons, as Capital One (most recently) has emphasized.Īgreed, TypeScript’s ability to intermingle with JavaScript allows it to ride the latter’s coattails, much like Kotlin with Java. Rachel: I also think that the ability to refactor an app by mixing and matching TypeScript and JavaScript is a big part of the story. The (optional) safety offered by the language’s typing.
JavaScript’s ubiquity and ascent to lingua franca status.Monkchips: So about TypeScript – we got a little excited about the language’s progress last time, and it seems that interest was justified. The growth behind the language has been impressive to watch. It’s the first new entrant into the Top 10 outside of a one quarter cameo from Swift since 2015. Sogrady ( Stephen O’Grady ): My biggest takeaway from this round of the rankings was TypeScript. Kelly ( Kelly Fitzpatrick ): OK, to start off: any general impressions of this round of the Programming Language Rankings? Rachel ( Rachel Stephens ):For those who didn’t see it, here is the aforementioned research and trends over time can be seen here.
We also asked for questions from third parties, and hopefully we can answer some of those. RedMonk publishes rankings every six months, and we felt it would be good to have a discussion this time around, and get behind the numbers and charts if we can. Were there any surprises, what’s going on, and what did we learn this term? Monkchips ( James Governor ): The purpose of this chat is to discuss the findings of the June 2019 RedMonk Programming Language Rankings, sponsored by our good friends at YLD. We’re experts in open source tech such as node.js, react.js, React Native, Kubernetes and design systems. We create cutting edge technology and design capabilities that last beyond us. YLD is behind many of the products and services you use every day. The June 2019 iteration of the RedMonk Programming Language Rankings is brought to you by YLD.
