What StackOverflow insights tell us about JavaScriptClick here to share this article on LinkedIn »Being a JavaScript lover, when I found StackOverflowâ€s insight of different languages for the year 2018; the first thing came into my mind was to check how the things around JavaScript is going on.

Fortunately nothing to worry my dear JS developers. Everything is cool down here. And here is a small comparison of StackOverflowâ€s insight of 2017 and 2018.

The popularity is still growing

In 2017 `66.7%` developers were using/familiar with JavaScript. However in 2018 the percentage increased by `5`. Definitely the new users are more tend to use JavaScript and probably the old ones are also onboarding themselves to JavaScript. Really good for the community.

Another good takeaway here is to see Typescript growing. I strongly believe that JavaScript needs the support of Typescript to reach the peak of success.
