JavaScript has been a constant of the 'Who is hiring?' thread since the beginning, but the chart tells a more interesting story than raw ubiquity: its share has gradually ceded ground as TypeScript took over the same roles. Use the share toggle to watch that handover, and raw counts to see absolute front-end and full-stack hiring volume. Drill into any month to read the postings - which framework each role pairs JavaScript with, and how often a listing actually means 'TypeScript' in practice.
