Top Coding Languages 

Info

This is where you’ll find the primary programming languages a developer uses expressed as a percentage of their code contributions in each language–visualized with their respective icons for quick identification. Like Knowledge Areas, this reflects a fixed period of the last six months. 

Tip

These Coding Languages values provide great insight into the developer experience (DevEx), workload distribution, focus area, and ways to improve. With visibility into Top Coding Languages, you can see:

• Expertise and Focus: A great leading indicator of skills and proficiency with different parts of your application. Make sure to optimize knowledge sharing and resourcing to uplevel the whole team. 
• Front vs. Back End: Lots of C++ knowledge indicates experience with systems applications and infrastructure, while more Javascript contributions indicate front end work. Make sure you’re spreading the knowledge and work around to create redundancies for effective change management and so all devs will progress. 
• Adoption: Want to see if the team is following best practices and transitioning from JavaScript to TypeScript? This view is great for seeing how quickly and effectively new technologies are integrated so you can bring it up with the team.
• Project Resourcing: Got a sensitive data project that requires expert level R knowledge? Make sure you have the right person assigned to the job using Coding Language visibility.
