It's the end of the year and you know what that means: well yes, Mariah Carey is about to buy herself a 17th yacht just from that one song. But also, it's time to take the latest State of JavaScript survey!
While the core of the survey hasn't changed, there's still quite a few new topics covered.
For example, we added a question about the new and very handy Set methods. You can think of sets as arrays that don't contain any duplicates, and they're quite powerful!
We've also added questions aimed at analyzing whether respondents are using specific libraries just for fun and experimentation, or as part of their actual day job:
Also, the buzz around the JS0/JSSugar proposal got us curious to know how much of the code we all write goes through some kind of bundling or build process before hitting the browser:
And finally, we also wanted to highlight the great work done by the TC39 committee and give everybody a glimpse at what's coming to JavaScript soon:
If that's not enough reasons to take the survey, here's one more: browser vendors use the results as one indicator (among many others) of what people care most about, which in turn helps them formulate their roadmap.
So if you too want to help shape the future of JavaScript, go check out this year's survey!
