So 63% of market still to be captured by microservices. I think it is great for boosting profit at cloud vendors, APM vendors, service mesh and so on. If I had made big tech level money, there is no better time to retire and move away from tech for me.

It is all the rage on enterprise products now, see headless CMS and MACH architecture, coupled with product vendors SaaS offerings instead of on premises installations.

You can do SOA without an ESB. You don't have to use ESB everywhere to have SOA architecture.

That's true but SOA without an ESB is a very small solution. As that solution grows an ESB will be created whether or not the team thinks of it as an ESB.

Thankfully there are ESB like solutions for microservices. /s

When you need an ESB, you can add one to the mix, but it still doesn't mean that you should use it for everything, even if it's not needed.

I agree with that, I'm just pointing out that ESB is a mainstay of SOA but not microservices. The idea that SOA and microservices is the same is a common misconception borne from the idea that SOA is a generic pattern rather than a specific architectural philosophy.

Take time out and you may risk getting left behind on the likely shift to AI augmented coding

A monkey could work that out in thirty minutes.

Hopefully not otherwise all our jobs are at risk

I'm shocked Java is the most popular language. I thought it was primarily a Node market.

This is a survey conducted by JetBrains, whose primary product is a Java/Kotlin IDE. They do support other languages, but their audience is almost certainly skewed toward JVM users.

Additional: Some languages really do lean on IDEs. Java and C# are prime among those languages.

Writing Java or C# without an IDE is painful.

Writing Python or C without and IDE simply lacks creature comforts.

So any demographics used for a survey of an IDE company will skew for "IDE focused" languages. All else being equal.
