There has been a thread to discuss the Stack Overflow Developer Survey on this forum every year since 2018, so here’s yet another one for 2023 :slight_smile:. This year’s edition features Elixir, Erlang and Phoenix once more!

The survey has recently opened and will remain open until May 19, 2023.

but i’m sure they’re not silly enough to generate questions/answers. just crowdsourcing ideas.

This year’s results are now public! See them at Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023

Some highlights:

  • Elixir moved up 2 spots in overall popularity, and Erlang moved up 1 spot
  • Elixir is the 2nd most admired [1] language right after Rust
  • Phoenix is the most admired web framework
  • Erlang is the 2nd most well paid technology, and Elixir is on the shared 5th place

Overall, the BEAM languages are doing really well here! Increasing popularity and consistent love & pay year after year are great things to see :slight_smile:

[1] The new Admired and Desired section replaces the old Loved, Dreaded, Wanted section where Elixir also has historically done well.

Agreed. Never before in my career was I so positive and so excited about the technology I am using as I’ve been with Elixir and all the goodies that come with it and I am certain so many other people share the feeling.
