Algeria Developer Index · Languages
Languages in Algeria, Q1 2026
The ten languages the most developers in Algeria pushed code in during the quarter, and how that changed in a year. One developer can push in several languages, so the counts can’t be added up.
HTML is first, as in every quarter since Q1 2020. Dockerfile and Jupyter Notebook entered the top ten, in place of C++ and Java. Dockerfile grew fastest: +172.7% on a year earlier.

Before you quote them
Read these numbers well
The counts can’t be added up
One developer can push in several languages in a quarter: someone who writes HTML, CSS and JavaScript counts in all three. The ten counts come to 52,859, which counts many developers more than once.
Not only programming languages
GitHub detects languages from the files pushed, so markup such as HTML and CSS, Jupyter notebooks and files such as Dockerfile count too.
Smaller languages don’t show
GitHub lists a language for an economy only when 100 or more developers push in it. In Q1 2026, 38 languages pass that in Algeria.
