According to GitHub's recently published Octoverse 2024 report, Python has emerged as the most popular programming language on the platform, surpassing JavaScript. Additionally, the use of Jupyter Notebooks has seen a remarkable increase. This trend highlights the growing emphasis on data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning within the GitHub community.

Python’s versatility is evident in its widespread application across various domains, including machine learning, data analysis, scientific research, web development, and even home automation. The report indicates that the surge in Python’s adoption is part of a broader expansion of open-source activities that extend beyond traditional software development practices. GitHub has also observed a heightened interest in AI agents and smaller models that demand less computational power.

Released on October 29, 2024, the Octoverse report analyzes GitHub’s activity from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. It challenges the perception that AI could potentially replace developers. Instead, the report reveals that as AI technology evolves, developers are increasingly integrating AI models into their applications and participating in AI-related projects on GitHub. This year has also witnessed an unprecedented influx of developers from around the world joining the platform.

The report outlines the leading developer communities on GitHub from 2019 to 2024, which include the United States, India, China, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, and Canada. Furthermore, GitHub highlights that Africa is cultivating a burgeoning community of developers. In 2024, nearly 1 billion contributions to open-source and public repositories were made by developers globally.

In terms of security, GitHub reported that developers utilized CodeQL secret scanning tools in 2024, successfully detecting over 39 million instances of secret leaks. The most prevalent security vulnerabilities identified were related to injection flaws, broken access controls, insecure designs, and cryptographic failures.
