Java and Javascript are still the top languages

Even if developers like Kotlin and Rust

A new survey has shown that Java and Javascript are the top enterprise languages even if developers prefer something a little more modern.

Beancounters at the Cloud Foundry Foundation (CFF) conducted a survey of global enterprise developers and IT decision makers and found that Java and Javascript were the top enterprise languages.

The CFF also found that: "Businesses are employing a polyglot and a multi-platform strategy to meet their exact needs." The CFF discovered 77 percent of enterprises are using or evaluating Platforms-as-a-Service (PaaS).”

More than 72 percent are using or considering containers; and 46 percent are using or thinking about serverless computing. Simultaneously, more than a third (39 percent) are using all three technologies.

For companies this "flexibility of cloud-native practices enables [companies to move] away from a monolithic approach and towards a world of computing that is flexible, portable and interoperable".

That means, while Java and JavaScript are only growing ever more popular, the larger the company, the more languages are used. After the Java twins, C++, C#, Python, and PHP are the most popular languages.
