> The language doesn’t have to be good to make money, in fact in can be quite bad. In fact, I think that there's an inverse relationship between how good a language is, and how much money has been made with it, on the condition that you have heard of it. Why? Well if you've heard of a language, it's likely because it is a language that has proliferated through the community. The worse a language is the more it must have made people money to 'survive' and proliferate. Think of the worst/ugliest languages you can think of (coming to my mind is Visual BASIC, C++, PHP, Javascript). These are languages that made an exceptional amount of money, and this allows them to survive despite being so bad.
