I'm surprised to see Ruby this high up. I imagine this is more correlation than causation in that there's now a good amount of experienced Ruby developers but they don't really teach it in bootcamps anymore so we mostly fall on that end of the spectrum.
I think it kinda makes sense; there are lot of projects written in Ruby and / or RoR that needs to be maintained and it's becoming a bit harder to find the talent as Ruby isn't really as hot as it was years ago (as you said, it's not taught in bootcamps that much either). Most of the offers I've received so far in the last year have been for Ruby and in my home country at least, it's easier to find gold mines than experienced Ruby developers.
Whoah. Javascript is #38
That might be because there are so many JS developers, so they're easier to find and replace, if needed.
Which language do you think is less populated?
There are quite a few, but less populated doesn't necessarily mean higher pay.
Assembly is not very commonly used, and nor is Forth, Io, Pascal, Basic, Pony, Nim, Crystal, and there are many more.
Thank you.
Great overview. Places things in a different perspective. Had to use Ctrl + F to search for what I'm currently learning - PHP :)))
Good list. The money seems to increase as the degree of difficulty increases. The strangest thing for me is that there are programming languages that I have heard of for the first time. Thank you very much.
I wonder how much of the responders are wishcasting?
The question was:
What is your current total annual compensation (salary, bonuses, and perks, before taxes and deductions)? Please enter a whole number in the box below, without any punctuation. If you are paid hourly, please estimate an equivalent yearly salary.
It looks like all the shiny new toys are more on top and the established languages are more at the bottom.
I like tinkering with new languages, new ways of programming helps me improve my skills. But for work I rely on languages that have a big community. New languages have teething issues which makes the solutions you develop harder. I rather focus on the requirements I have to meet, than taking on the extra burden of fixing a new language at the same time.
