Jason : I’m really surprised to see the rate of C++20 adoption. Another couple years and we can stop including those in these sorts of surveys! Also, seeing the pre-C++11 releases drop below 10% is good news. Titus : I’m very glad to see that the solid majority of users are on releases from the last 5 years.

Guy, Jason, Titus, what do you think about the trends? However, it’s promising to see many developers aiming to upgrade to C++20: Neary half of the respondents for each language version don’t plan to migrate to a newer language standard. C++17 is the most widely used and C++20 is growing fast, while everything pre-C++14 has dropped since 2021. What is currently the most widely used C++ standard? Are C++ developers planning to migrate in the next 12 months, and if so, what will they migrate to? We can definitely see the latest C++ standards growing in popularity. We also invite you to read through the key takeaways and detailed data for many programming languages and areas of software development:ĬHECK THE FULL REPORT C++ standard: developers are moving fast to C++17 and C++20 In this post we’ll discuss the final results, review the trends, and learn which direction the C++ community is currently evolving in.

We also managed to extract data for the group of Embedded and Game C++ developers and see if overall trends for the language varied among these groups. Among them there were 2950 developers who chose C++ as one of their three primary programming languages, and 1396 who chose C. The results of the sixth annual survey conducted by JetBrains to capture the landscape of the developer community are now available! The study was carried out in May – July 2022, and we collected answers from nearly 30K developers worldwide.
