2021 Developer Predictions Thread
With 2021 just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to start a thread about our predictions for the next few years.
- What do you think is going to happen in 2021 and beyond?
- Which languages or frameworks will shine or increase in popularity?
- Are there any new databases on the horizon?
- What do you think will happen on the frontend?
- What do you think will happen on the backend?
- What do you think will happen on mobile/IoT/Edge computing/etc?
- Will we see more people get into functional programming? Static typing?
- Will any cool new tech or methodologies emerge?
- What about dev-related hardware? Will we see new Macs/computers/monitors/keyboards/etc?
Perhaps there’s something you’d like to see happen? Let us know!

PHP, JS, Python, Java, C will remain dominant–a million new JS frameworks will come and go–nothing much will change then–apart from Rust becoming even cooler
