#3It is weird being a "desktop application" and mobile developer and knowing that 70% of developers do something that I am completely unfamiliar with.
Web development to me feels like the Boneyard from the Lion King. This shadow land that I am too terrified to enter into, and I have no idea why I feel this way. It also bugs me like it might be a huge shortcoming at some point in my life that I have no grasp of it.

This is a little bit misleading. This was a multiple choice question, so it's understable that most people have used JavaScript in some way within their projects. This doesn't mean, that JavaScript ist the most used language in those categories by the time spent using it.

With me it's the other way around.
I can do almost anything I need with Web tech.
Desktop or even native mobile development seems to be like going back to the last century.
I'm doing a native mobile project next month, and looking at the stuff a iOS dev needs to get going is horrible.

#9Surprisingly a full 2.6% of Stack Overflow visitors identify as non male/female, of which a 0.5% transgender. Both numbers much higher than those for the general population.
It would be interesting to see more information about this, looking forward to the follow-up article: "We will publish additional analysis related to respondents’ gender identities in the coming weeks."

#10Some observations.
Wouldn't have thought of built-in help as a popular (47.1%) way of teaching yourself.
Oracle usage only 16.5%, but I guess it makes sense considering the web developer proportion.
CoffeeScript as the third most dreaded language, behind only two instances of Visual Basic. But reading the definition of "dreaded" in makes more sense.
Sharepoint as the most dreaded platform, ha ha, no surprise there.
Clojure as the top paying tech worldwide, wow. But missing entirely from the list in US, UK, Germany, France sections, so where are all the Clojure devs? In general that's... comforting, if only there were any Clojure shops in my country (okay, admittedly I've heard about one startup using it).
