Programming languages are one of the necessary things for any software engineer. something that they have given a lot of time in academia. some students are super sharp-minded that they handle things very well. but not everybody. learning a new language is always a tough task for most of us. so if have to choose which language should be your first choice. you'll probably pick the most easier one or highest paying that can give you the best return in the market.
we have done an easier job for you. we have picked the top ten highest paying programming language technologies for you that can give you the best return in 2020. this observation is released by the most famous site stackoverflow.com. they release the Developer Survey every year. if you are a tech enthusiast then you must have gone on this website one in your life.
they have given the list of highest-paid programming languages in 2020
- Clojure $90k
- F# $80k
- Go $80k
- Scala $78k
- Elixir $76k
- Ruby $75k
- WebAssembly $73k
- Rust $72k
- Erlang $71k
- Bash/PowerShell $69k
1. Clojure
 |
Clojure is a high level, dynamic functional programming language. It is designed, based on the LISP programming language. Like other Lisps, Clojure treats code as data and has a Lisp macro system. It has compilers that makes it possible to be run on both Java and .Net runtime environment.
2. F#
F# is a mature, open-source, cross-platform, functional-first programming language. F# runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, Windows, GPUs, and browsers. It is free to use and is open source under an OSI-approved license. A simple, clear resource explaining what F# is and what it is for, provided by a major commercial contributor to F# and its tooling. Learn about the tools for F#, the F# community, using F# with the .NET platform and access getting-started material Learn it here
3. Go
Go is an Open-source statically typed, compiled programming language designed by Google. Programs are assembled by using packages, for efficient management of dependencies. Go is syntactically similar to C, but with memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. This language also supports the environment adopting patterns alike to dynamic languages. For eg., type inference (y := 0 is a valid declaration of a variable y of type float).
4. Scala
Scala is a general-purpose programming language providing support for functional programming and a strong static type system. Designed to be concise, many of Scala's design decisions aimed to address criticisms of Java Learn more
5. Elixir
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications.
Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development, embedded software, data ingestion, and multimedia processing domains. Learn more
6. Ruby
Ruby is a dynamic, open-source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. learn more
These were the small description of these languages. I recommend you to not to learn these languages just because they can pay you high salaries. you can learn it if you find that the basics and the foundation and the community of these languages are very strong.
stack overflow didn't only gave the data about these languages. but they also told 15 more programing languages. you can see that here.
11. R $64k
12. Python $63k
13. Objective-C $62k
14. TypeScript $60k
15. C# $59k
16. Swift $59k
17. Kotlin $57k
18. SQL $57k
19. JavaScript $56k
20. C++ $55k
21. HTML/CSS $55k
22. VBA$55k
23. Assembly $52k
24. C $52k
25. Java $52k
Now take a look at the results posted by the stack overflow developers survey 2019.
Globally, respondents who use Clojure, F#, Elixir, and Rust earn the highest salaries, with median salaries above $70,000 USD. There are regional variations in which languages are associated with the highest pay. Scala developers in the US are among the highest paid, while Clojure and Rust developers earn the most in India.
Note: The salary is also dependent on the amount of experience you have. having 0 years of experience and a good common on the language in the list may not pay the expected salary on this post. they also posted a graph that tells the relation between the salary and the experience and the languages as the data points.
Developers using languages that appear above the line in this chart, such as Clojure, Scala, Go, Rust, and R, are being paid more even given how much experience they have. Developers using languages below the line, like PHP, Assembly, and VBA, however, are paid less even given years of experience. The size of the circles in this chart represents how many developers are using that language compared to the others.
Thanks for reading this post. if you find it helpful do let me know in the comments below. and also tell me where can i improve in this blog.
It's really good to see the list. Now one can easily choose the most profitable programming language for him/her.
ReplyDeleteyes learning a new language is always a tough task
Deletethanks for this vipin. it gives us a confidance.
