GitHub’s new Octoverse 2025 report shows a major shift coming in the tech world. It is expected that by 2030, India will have more software developers than the United States, who are the current worldwide leaders.
India’s Fast Rise
India is quickly catching up with the U.S, which has about 28 million developers. GitHub predicts the country will add more than 35 million new developers in the next few years. It will reach around 57.5 million by 2030. The U.S., by comparison, is expected to reach about 54.7 million.
GitHub credits India’s fast growth to strong government training programs. AI tools that support local languages also make coding more accessible to people.
Similar growth is happening across the Asia-Pacific region. In this region, more young people are getting into tech than ever before.
A Global Trend
Brazil’s developer community is set to jump from 6.9 million to 19.6 million by 2030. This will make it the third largest in the world. China is also on track to hit 17.7 million developers within the same period.
Behind this global boom is AI. Generative AI is changing how developers work and what they build. According to GitHub, TypeScript passed Python in August to become the most popular programming language.
TypeScript is becoming hugely popular with developers. Over the last year, the number of people using it shot up by 66%. It now has over a million users. That puts it ahead of other languages. Next up is Python with about 850,000 users.
JavaScript is in third place with roughly 427,000 users. This jump shows that developers are choosing TypeScript more often. They like that it’s more stable and that it also works better with new coding tools powered by AI.
AI Tools Are Now Everywhere
In just two years, the number of AI projects on GitHub has doubled. There are now about 4.3 million of these projects. This means AI coding is not just for experts anymore.
It’s become totally normal for new users to rely on these tools. Around 80% of new people turn on Copilot in their first week. That really tells you how common AI tools have become in the world of programming.
Right now, over 1.13 million public repositories are using generative AI SDKs, up 178% from last year. Many of these projects are getting larger and more advanced, showing that AI is moving beyond experiments and becoming part of real, everyday development work.
What’s Next
GitHub also pointed out the growing role of MCP (Model Context Protocol). This could help developers follow common standards when building AI systems. Various AI Tools like Ollama and Ragflow show how local AI and smarter workflows are becoming more common.
The message from GitHub that “AI isn’t replacing developers, it’s helping them grow’’ is clear. The future is here, as developers partner with AI to reshape the world of technology.
