Stack Overflow\u2019s annual developer survey is now out and if one thing is clear, then it\u2019s that there\u2019s no match for JavaScript and Node, React, and other related technologies. What\u2019s more, React and Node have also become the most desired technologies by those developers who do not yet utilize them in their day-to-day work, noted Opus\u2019s CEO Margus Eha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This year marked the 10th year in a row where JavaScript ranked as the number one language used by professional developers, and it marked the first year where TypeScript entered the top five. Looking at web frameworks, the picture is equally clear: Node.js leads the pack, followed by React.js, and soon followed by the likes of Express and Nest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWith web frameworks, it\u2019s interesting to note the small disparity between professional developers and those still learning \u2013 for professionals the use of Node and React is almost equal, hovering around 45% of respondents, whilst among those still taking their first steps, Node is leaps and bounds ahead with nearly 63% compared to React\u2019s 43%,\u201d said Eha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This, according to Eha, shows clearly that younger developers see Node as the future and as the most sensible framework to spend their energy towards to. \u201cBut I\u2019m happy to see that even younger developers understand that when it comes to pure front-end skills, React is the way to go. Being comfortable with both React and Node gives you a huge leg up and it\u2019s worth your time to familiarize yourself with both of them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Who wants to work with what?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Taking a look at what technologies developers actually want to work with, React topped the charts once again with nearly a quarter of respondents indicating their interest. However, nearly 32% of respondents noted that they somewhat dread working with React, compared to 16% who dreaded working with the most-loved framework this year, Phoenix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s somewhat understandable \u2013 React and Node are incredibly popular, so people know what they\u2019re really about and where their weak spots lie. With lesser-used technologies, such as Phoenix or Svelte, these weird and annoying things have not yet penetrated through the pink cloud of awesome and new,\u201d Eha noted. \u201cBut as time goes and more people try them out, they too will reveal their true colors.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Looking at who wants to work with Node and React, it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s somewhat of a never-ending circle: people who work with React want to work with Node, and vice-versa. On the other hand, React is also very desired by people working with Angular and Express, whilst Node is looked at by people mostly working with Next and Express.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, most large-scale projects utilize a variety of frameworks, so it\u2019s understandable that people working with one would like to try out the others,\u201d Eha added. \u201cIt\u2019s just important to know which one to pick and where to spend your time. Today, React and Node act as the base with everything else supplementing those.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWith that in mind, if you\u2019re still thinking about where to start, I\u2019d suggest starting off with those two. The market is hot and there\u2019s a huge need for React, Node, and full-stack developers. If you\u2019re looking for certainty, then this is the way to go,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
