Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019

[Tomaaz]

Linux is the most popular platform for developers (however in many cases it is not the main one - Windows is). Rust, Python, TypeScript and Kotlin are the most loved languages. Visual Basic is the most dreaded one (followed by Objective-C and Assembly). Python, JavaScript and Go are the most wanted ones. Linux is the most loved platform, Wordpress - the most dreaded one and Docker the most wanted one.

EDIT Absence of Perl in dreaded languages is a bit surprising.

Stack Overflow is a part of Stack Exchange. Game developers have their own place there. There is also place for retro computing, webmasters and many more (not limited to technology).

..most of us are hobbyist...soooo 

So, we should have a look at this.
