Who are JavaScript Programmers? #20

Open codehag opened 1 month ago

codehag commented 1 month ago

What is the population that programs JavaScript, and how do we find out? Are they mostly working in JavaScript? What experience level do they have? Are they coming from other languages, primarily working in JS, or are they working on something else most of the time and touching JS occasionally? Where do we draw the line on who we consider when designing JS features? What are their usecases? What are they trying to do?

how do we find out?

stack overflow annual survey could be a tool, since it covers a lot of people, and getting updated yearly.

Another survey that we could integrate the question into is the State of JS survey: https://github.com/tc39/tg5/issues/33 -- any thoughts on how / what to ask?
