If you only used the title you're skewing heavily towards junior and entry level positions. Most developers - particularly app or web developers - regularly work with more than one language. Data Scientists primarily develop in python or R but they aren't called "R developer".

Also Oct 2021 was the peak of tech optimism and hiring. The nasdaq index - a proxy for tech - is down 30%. Your top language - Solidity - is for crypto smart contracts; crypto companies are not hiring anymore and in fact have been laying off like crazy.

It was a nice effort but there's a ton of sampling bias that makes this chart misleading.

Edit: If you want to know what these languages are for and have a spare 16 mins here's a fun snappy youtube video.

If you have no formal cs training and you just want to start making stuff - 100% learn with python.

Also the fact that a crypto thing misleadingly made it to the top of a thing is just :chefskiss: lmfao

I think the most unintuitive thing is how you're representing year. Time is always from left to right. Just look at how scrambled the Canada data is.

I think if you want to keep chart type, it'd have to be either animation or way fewer points. Alternatively, you could have plot the ratio of Democracy Score / Equality Score vs time. I guess it's hard to say what would work theoretically; making charts is definitely an art and your effort is commendable.
