Worldwide Development Languages, Environments, and Tools Market Shares, 2022: The Maturation of Generative AI Promises to Irrevocably Change Development and the Developer Experience

This IDC study provides worldwide market share data for the development languages, environments, and tools market for the calendar year 2022."The commercial market for developer tools showed strong growth in 2022 as organizations continued to recognize the importance of digitization to remain competitive with their peers," said Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president, Software Development at IDC. "Meanwhile, the rapid maturation and proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (AI) developer tools catalyzed a new wave of digitization that empowers developers to focus on higher-value development tasks and delegate the production of boilerplate code to machines. The deepened integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in development promises to accelerate development, improve developer productivity, and expand the relevant universe of digitization use cases, thereby amplifying demand for developer tools and accelerating the market's growth even further."
