The Go Programming Language (golang) made its first appearance in the
Top 10 and is now the third most popular programming language in the
rankings. Go jumped over both Java and Ruby this month.
First released in 2012, Go has climbed steadily as its popularity grows,
and was mentioned in over 10% of postings in April.

React cruised to its tenth win in a row in March, continuing to show
its dominance in the tech hiring marketplace. Python maintained its
normal spot at #2 as well. React and Python both maintained more than
a 20% share of postings, opening up a large gap between these 2 and the
rest of the field. Also interesting is to see the movement after those
two, as JavaScript fell back significantly from third to fourth and
nearly further.

As React wins its ninth month in a row, it appears that we're settling
in for a bit of stability at the top of the rankings. The one trend
of note in the top 10 is Postgresql entering the top 5, but it has been
there before, so it's not a strong threat to keep climbing higher.

React continues its win streak into the new year with a strong showing
again. With 8 wins in a row and another near 25% rate of mention, what
will it take for another technology to catch React?

React reached the #1 spot in the rankings back in June, overtaking
Python, and has not let go since. December marks React's seventh win in
a row. More than just win though, React had its largest margin of
victory and came close to being mentioned in 25% of the postings.
React finishes the year on top >>

It appears that Blockchain growth has now extended into hiring demand
for software developers with Blockchain skills. After noticing
Upwork's Q3 Report
(via @thenewstack)
highlighted Blockchain as its 2nd fastest growing skill, I explored
what the trends looked like in the Hacker News data and found the
results were significant enough to add
Blockchain, Bitcoin and Ethereum
to the HN trends, beginning with this analysis of
November's "Ask HN: Who is Hiring" thread.

Postings in October's "Ask HN: Who is Hiring" thread
were up over 12% from September as fall hiring kicked into high gear.
In fact, this was the 2nd highest posting month of all time, behind
only this past Februrary. In previous years, November usually surpasses
October, so it will be worth watching next week to see if hiring can
remain hot.
An October bounce, React extends its streak >>
