CircleCI study finds JavaScript losing favor when it comes to the top programming languages.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A new report have revealed JavaScript is no longer top dog when it comes to the worlds most popular programming languages.

CircleCI's 2022 State of Software Delivery report found that TypeScript has now overtaken JavaScript to the number one position, toppling one of the biggest names in the industry.

The company says the change is likely down to its developer-friendly
features, like allowing them to catch smaller errors locally and to commit working code more frequently compared with JavaScript. Top programming languages

From 2019 to 2021, only Python remained consistent in its popularity
according to the report, which places the language at fourth place. Other top-ten languages include HTML , Java, and PHP.

in at a respectable ninth place, leading the way for both HTML and Swift trailing one and two places behind respectively. Read more

Elite software delivery teams are adopting developer-friendly tools and practices that allow them to automate, scale, and successfully embrace change when necessary," CircleCI VP of Platform Michael Stahnke noted.

High performers are gravitating toward tools that encourage collaboration, repeatability, and productivity.

The analysis delved into other areas of programmers workflow, too, uncovering four key benchmarks that define some of the most successful engineering
teams. They include workflow durations averaging between five and 10 minutes, recoveries from failed runs fixed or reverted within one hour, at least 90% success rate for the default branch of their application, and regular deployment as per business requirements, at a minimum of once daily.
