Here is the complete chart of programming languages ​​and their respective demand in 2022:

And the same view broken down by month:

Summary

DevJobsScanner pointed out that it is obvious that Javascript and Typescript do dominate the developer job market. Javascript and Typescript together account for 31% of job opportunities that explicitly require a programming language, which means that almost one out of every three job opportunities requires Javascript or Typescript.

Python and Java are the second and third most in-demand programming languages ​​in 2022, respectively, providing a large number of job opportunities. But it is worth noting that Java is closing the gap with Python. For some months in the survey, the number of job opportunities for Java exceeded that of Python. "Thus, those who say Java is an obsolete programming language may want to reconsider their wording."

C#, C/C++, and PHP are also languages ​​to watch because of their A consistent upward trend. For example, in October 2021, the demand for PHP only accounted for about 5% of the total demand, but by November 2022, it accounted for nearly 10%, almost doubling.
