I was curious about what the most common tech stacks are, specifically which languages & frameworks tech companies use. So I wrote a simple Python script that went through 2000 listings of https://himalayas.app/companies.
These are the top 10 languages and frameworks:
- JavaScript
- HTML5
- CSS 3
- Python
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- GraphQL
- PHP
- Java
- Ruby
Worth mentioning might also be Go, which was on position 12 as a relative newcomer. I guess there are not many surprises here, although I was surprised how high on the list Ruby is (Ruby on Rails as a framework was number 11). I also found it interesting how popular GraphQL is as none of the companies I worked at uses it. I should take another look at the advantages and discuss it with the team.
