It would be useful to see the methodology used.

Eg. Go (say) is often a secondary skill listed with the real target, like Java. This means it's not as in demand as might appear on the surface let alone considerations of whether it is actually required by the recruiter or is just being used as bait.

That's concerning. I am a Javascript/Typescript backend dev trying to get a full-time Golang based role. I wonder if should look for a Javascript role which has some Golang on the side.

Cloud engineering roles are almost all Go based these days.

"DevJobsScanner has only picked the job offers that explicitly required a programming language. Job offers with fuzzy language requirements were discarded."

It's pure Go job.

Yeah, that line is pretty ambiguous.

I've never worked or even heard of a software engineering position requiring literally just one language.

That makes me wonder how the author handled positions that list multiple languages, or a primarily language along with nice-to-have languages.

Potentially discarding all of those results sounds like throwing away most postings.

Ah thanks, I scanned the page and blog but missed that. Good to hear.

Not saying you're wrong, but it's not the case where I work. Essentially 100% of our backend is written in Go. We only use Java for Android.
