- kragen 1y agoProlog and Dart programmers earn the least, but Erlang and Clojure programmers earn the most? Something is fishy here...
- kleiba 1y agoI would take this statistics, like every other one, with a grain of salt, but still wanted to put it out there as a possible discussion point.
- cmrdporcupine 1y agoLikely just not a statistically significant enough sample of any of those to justify them even putting them on the chart. Except maybe Dart, and that gets the "curse" of being front-end tech which for some inexplicable reason is underpaid.
- kragen 1y agoYeah, that seems likely. Although it's lower than PHP!
- kamaal 1y ago>>Clojure programmers earn the most? All the best finding a Clojure job though. Im guessing they pay all that much, while simultaneously cursing themselves for not using Python instead, and swearing to never use Clojure again. I know that as I have seen people do and say similar things about Perl and Erlang in the last decade.
- sjamaan 1y agoNope. I mostly happily used Python in my previous job for many years, now I'm doing Clojure. There are benefits and drawbacks to each, but I don't know if I'd want to go back to Python. I'm a Lisper (Schemer, really) at heart so maybe I'm biased. Having said that, I don't think I'd pick Clojure for unpaid (hobby) projects. The JVM is such a hog and I don't like anything related to the Java culture...
- kragen 1y agoI suspect kamaal meant that the people who hired you are cursing themselves for making such an expensive decision.
