Apple's Swift is the Programming Language ‘Most Loved’ by Developers [Chart]

Stack Overflow's annual survey found that Apple's Swift is the programming language most loved by developers.

We asked respondents what programming languages and technologies they've developed with over the past year and what languages and technologies they want to develop with. By comparing status quo vs. aspiration we can see how developers perceive available programming tools.

Rounding out the top five most loved languages are C++, Rust, Go, and Clojure.


The survey analyzed responses from 26,086 people in 157 countries. 6,800 identified as full-stack developers, 1,900 as mobile developers, 1,200 as front-end developers, 2 as farmers, and 12,000 as something else.
