GitHub The annual report, Octoverse, shows thatPython For the first time ever, it has surpassed JavaScript as the most popular GitHubprogramming language.. This is largely driven by artificial intelligence (AIPython is also widely used in data science and open source projects, driven by a surge in development demand.
The report states.andGenerative AI The contribution of AI-related programs has grown by 59% over the past year, and the contribution of AI-related public programs has nearly doubled from 2023India, Germany, Japan and Singapore are the main sources of these contributions. In addition, more and more developers from around the world are joining and using GitHub, many of them working on open source projects for the first time.
Since ChatGPT's public beta two years ago, AI technology has grown exponentially, with enterprises and developers turning their attention to smaller AI models and AI agents with lower compute requirements and more customizable applications.The surge in demand for Python is also reflected in the use of the Jupyter Notebooks project, which saw usage of the tool, which supports open-source software development, grow by 921 TP3T.
GitHub believes that the rise of Python reflects a shift in the user base, expanding from traditional software programmers to the broader science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java are still the dominant programming languages on GitHub, while systems programming languages like Rust are also on the rise.
GitHub predicts that by 2028, India will have the largest GitHub developer base in the world, with African and Latin American countries, such as Brazil, also seeing significant growth.
The release of this report coincides with GitHub's annual Universe conference, where GitHub announced that it will further expand the AI models available on the platform. GitHub Copilot initially relied on OpenAI's GPT-3 Codex model, and subsequent releases have used multiple versions of GPT-3.5, GPT 3.5-turbo, GPT-4, and others to meet different latency and quality requirements. to meet different latency and quality requirements. Currently, Copilot Chat has introduced OpenAI's o1-preview and o1-mini models, while Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro models will be introduced in the coming weeks.
