May 2015 - Tracking the most popular programming languages, databases and software development tools in whoishiring discussion threads.
The most interesting trend from May is the continuing, quick rise of the React JavaScript library. While AngularJS was a pioneer of meteoric rises, React's may end up being a faster climb to the top of the JavaScript library war. It just zoomed past Backbone.js into 2nd place after just about a year since it was first mentiond in the hiring posts.
