Why Java and C++ developers should sleep well at night data presented by GitHut, which provides quarterly rankings and trends going back to Q2 2012 based on GitHub Archive data. For Q2 2014, Java was #2, behind JavaScript, in terms of the number of active repositories; it was #3 two years earlier (Ruby was #2). As a percentage of the total repositories, Java’s share has grown slightly since 2012, from 9.1% to 9.8%. C++ growth on GitHub has been a little flatter than Java’s. It remains at #7 in terms of active repos, just where it was 2 years earlier while its share of total repos has remained about the same (3.9%). Languages showing real growth on GitHub recently have, again, been R (.3% of repos in Q4 2013, 1.8% in Q2 2014) and Go (.4% in Q1 2013, .86% in the most recent quarter). Java remains one the most dominant languages in use and there’s no evidence that its in decline relative to other languages. C++ also remains solidly in the top tier of languages, though there is some evidence that other languages, such as C#, have made gains at its expense.

C++ also remains solidly in the top tier of languages, though there is some evidence that other languages, such as C#, have made gains at its expense. While the top programming languages remain fairly static, the overall universe continues to fragment, with the dominant languages, as a group, losing share to smaller, sometimes more niche languages, such as R and Go.
