New Q3 2023 developer research sheds light on developer trends

Why do developers join technology-centric communities?
How will Generative AI affect developers' work?
What does the Web3 landscape look like?

SlashData is on a mission to help companies understand developers and inspire the future of technology. To contribute to the first part, it just released the anticipated bi-annual free report, which showcases the latest trends in software development. The 25th State of the Developer Nation report has just been published and is publicly available to shed light on key software development topics.

The report is put together through 6 chapters. Here is the full chapter/topics list, along with key insights:
1. Language communities - An update
JavaScript continues to take the top spot for programming languages, for the sixth year in a row, with roughly 22.5M active users worldwide. Dart was the fastest-growing language community in 2023, expanding its community by roughly 33% over the past year.
2. Creating A Sense Of Community - How Developers Interact And Engage With Their Peers
More than half (52%) of developers think that the quality of available information matters a lot, making this the most decisive factor when they consider joining a technology-centric community.
3. How Generative Ai Will Affect Developers' Work
The vast majority of developers are quite optimistic about how generative AI will affect their work: 80% agree or strongly agree that generative AI will increase their potential and productivity.
4. Web3 Unveiled - Exploring The Diverse Landscape Of Web3 Development Projects
Web3 is still a nascent space, since nearly 60% of all developers have never worked on Web3 development projects; another 20% have been involved in such projects in the past, but not at the moment.
5. From Code To Consumer Magic - The Software Developers Behind Our Everyday Electronic Devices
28% of developers working on consumer electronics projects build software for security and access products, making it the most targeted category. This is closely followed by software for communication devices, network equipment, and energy appliances (25-26%).
6. What Are People Building In AR/VR?
Games is the most popular application category (33%) among AR/VR practitioners, followed by virtual worlds (29%) and 3D models, plans, and diagrams (27%).
