Co-author of the survey here, thanks for posting! Happy to answer any questions :)

(As long as the question is not something along the lines of "My favorite library Foo.js is doing pretty poorly in your survey, surely there must be an issue with your methodology?")




Not a question but a suggestion. I live in England and am very aware that the residents of Scotland and Wales don't like to be classed as "English". You might want to change the title to the more neutral (and correct) Britain, Great Britain, GB, United Kingdom, or UK.


It would be UK, as it includes NI.

To the parent - Great Britain is the land mass containing England/Scotland/Wales. The UK is the whole thing.


Good point :-)


Oh I didn't even see that, thanks for the feedback!


To be absolutely correct it should be United Kingdom, not Great Britain, as you also have Northern Ireland marked as England.



You're welcome. I see you've changed it now. Glad to be of help :-)


Not a Javascript developer. But that survey was beautiful!

Anyone doing a state of any language/platform should take note.


Are you surprised by the low percentage of solo devs and small teams (startups) in your survey?

How do you think does this bias towards "enterprise" affect more full featured solutions like Meteor, that are more geared towards small teams and indie hackers?


Not really surprised. And I think Meteor got in trouble precisely because it appealed mostly to small teams, so that doesn't seem to be a viable business model.


The links to learn more in the popovers on the other libraries page [1] are impossible to click since they disappear when not hovering over the name. Apologies if someone has mentioned this before. Edit: I'm using Waterfox. It works well in Chrome.

On the demographic map of respondents, you say England when you presumably mean the UK. There is a difference!


I keep hearing about this Foo.js framework being the new React but can't find a repo!


My favorite library Foo.js is doing pretty poorly in your survey, surely there must be an issue with your methodology? ;)
