Microsoft accelerated its Python efforts way back in 2017 when it hired software engineer Don Jayamanne, who created the most popular extension in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace by far: yes, Python. "They prefer P圜harm, VS Code, Vim and Sublime text much more than data scientists do, while many data scientists prefer Jupyter Notebook as their primary tool." "Web developers have slightly different editor preferences from data scientists," the report said. Web dev percentages increased from 10 percent to 19 percent.
While the percentage of respondents in the combined category reporting they use VS Code increased from 7 percent in 2017 to 16 percent in 2018, among data science developers, the percentage climbed from 10 percent to 15 percent. Top Editors and IDEs Reported by Both Data Science and Web Developers (source: Python Software Foundation). The following graphics shows the combined data science/Web responses for choice of IDE (or code editor), with 2018 response percentages to left and 2017 response percentages to the right: (This year, data science development overtook Web development for the No. 1 choice among Python developers, even when those developers are categorized as being data science developers or Web developers. "Most probably because of the rapid growth of VS Code many other editors had a decreased share of users." "Interestingly, VS Code made its way from 7 percent in 2017 to 16 percent in 2018, becoming the second-most popular editor for Python development," the report said. The Python Software Foundation published its first Python developer survey last year (using 2017 data) and just this week released the Python Developers Survey 2018, which - in conjunction with JetBrains - polled more than 20,000 developers from more than 150 countries last fall.īetween those two surveys, usage of the open source, cross-platform VS Code editor skyrocketed. Much has been written here about how Microsoft's Visual Studio Code dev team has gone " all in on Python," and the effort seems to have paid off according to a new developer survey specifically devoted to the popular programming language.
