Observations

• There are no strong leaders in the Java category in the August report.
• DataHub from the Java category seems very promising and has already been adopted by companies like Expedia Group, LinkedIn, Peloton, ThoughtWorks, and others.
• If you want to learn data structures and algorithms in Java the “DSA-Bootcamp-Java” project from the Java category might be interesting for you. There is also “The Algorithms – Rust” project from the Rust category for Rust fans.
• Blockchain, smart contracts it is all about Rust.
