20 years ago, Java was already becoming pretty big in the enterprise. Today there are plenty of Java jobs from your bog standard banks and insurance companies all the way up to the BigTech companies. The biggest ponds don’t have fish using Erlang.
BTW, what languages do you think all of those BigTech companies that pay well are using?
I just keep bringing up C# because that’s the language I have the most experience with. But substitute $any popular language.
- wiseowise 4y agoCertainly not C#, lol. Even OCamls share would be bigger within big tech, thanks to Meta.
- scarface74 4y agoI work in BigTech now. In the last two years I’ve done projects in C#, Java, Go, Python and Typescript…
- pharmakom 4y agoC# is much bigger then OCaml. Even F# is bigger than OCaml! (and I say this as a big fan of OCaml)
- hwntw 4y agoErlang might be slightly more obscure, but there are plenty of big household names using the language - Klarna, Bet365, and William Hill are all household names. And that's excluding the obvious cases of Ericsson or WhatsApp.
- scarface74 4y agoExcept for WhatsApp, from what I can find on Levels, all of the companies you named pay on the low end of even enterprise dev salaries.
