Research
Market research
Conducted by the JetBrains Market Research and Analytics department running a wide range of studies into technology, business, and markets.
Scientific research
Conducted by JetBrains Research, which is a private enterprise. JetBrains Research unites scientific projects that really make a difference and strive to improve the current state of science and technology.
Market research
To make sure our tools offer the best user experience, we need to understand the developers who use them. For this purpose, we conduct large-scale, systematic research into the labor market of professional developers, the popularity of programming languages, and the working preferences of programmers.

How developers use databases today
May 15, 2016
#SQL #Datagrip #analysis
As we considered adding a dedicated tool for working with databases and SQL, we felt it was necessary to better understand how developers used databases. We ran a survey gathering responses from about 2,000 developers. Read this report to find out what we learned.
C/C++ facts we learned before going ahead with CLion
July 27, 2015
#Languages #Clion #C/C++
Before going ahead with CLion, we needed better insight into the C/C++ market, to know things like, Who are C and C++ developers? What areas do they work in? What tools do they use? and so forth. This research was instrumental in setting our first roadmap. It reinforced our decision to start with the CMake+GCC/Clang+GDB toolchain, among others.
DailyJS survey results 2014: technologies WebStorm users use
April 22, 2015
#Tagged IDE #WebStorm #Node.js #AngularJS
Every year DailyJS, a popular blog on JavaScript development, runs a Developer Survey among their readers. We decided to have a closer look at the results of the 2014 survey, which polled over 4,000 developers to see how many rely on WebStorm and IntelliJ IDEA for their daily tasks and whether their choice of frameworks, tools, and practices differs in any way from all survey respondents. (Kudos to DailyJS for making the raw data publicly available.)
