Prolog and Dart programmers earn the least, but Erlang and Clojure programmers earn the most? Something is fishy here...

Prolog 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.
