  1. Hi all!

    I am the owner of devjobsscanner, and I have been scraping dev job postings for 15 months and recolected a total of 10 million jobs.

    Of a total of 10 million development jobs, 1.5 million had salaries. Out of that 1.5 million, 260,000 could be categorized under programming languages. Among those 260,000, approximately 142,000 job offers were from the United States

    So the number of jobs that recreate those charts is approximately 142K.

    The charts are made with Vega: [https://vega.github.io/](https://vega.github.io/)

    You can find more information in the blog I made about it: [https://www.devjobsscanner.com/blog/top-10-highest-paid-programming-languages/](https://www.devjobsscanner.com/blog/top-10-highest-paid-programming-languages/)

    Hope you find it interesting!

  2. Seems odd that VHDL is so high and Verilog isn’t on the list.

  5. As some who has worked in almost half these languages, these look pretty low. Dev work pays really well.

  6. It look like I live in a very poor country (France) compared to those salary range ^^’

  7. I knew telco pay was bad, but man, seeing Erlang so low just confirms it.

  8. I’m fluent in Bash. I had no idea that could lead to a high paying development career, lol.

  9. I wonder why Javascript and Typescript are separated into different languages. Crazy to see how many more jobs there are for those though. I also want to see the extremes these reach as I’ve seen javascript jobs reach $220k base compensation, I wonder how high solidity and Clojure reach.

  10. People working in the IT industry, please bestow your wisdom upon me

  11. I wrote in C++ professionally for over 13 years. I changed jobs and started in C# with .NET 1.0. Even though C# was in primitive state I was never going back. So much nicer to work in.

  12. Elixir didn’t even make the list! I know it’s just not popular enough, but I think it’s picking up.

  13. I would like to have a comparison from US to Germany.
    99k as the minimum on this chart would be top tier in Germany.

  15. Huh should I learn solidity? I do think smart contracts are the future but I feel all this crypto frenzy bitcoin noise is destroying its reputation as a legitimate technology
