I think in reality the highest paid languages are C, Objective-C and C++, with Java a close second (though it very much depends on what is being done).
And if you're looking to be at the top of your game, one single piece of advice: master C. Once you've mastered it, you can pick and choose whatever else you want.
- NAFV_P 13y agoI'm learning C at the moment, but it isn't mentioned much in these comments. It seems to be niche expertise to me these days.
- gtrubetskoy 13y agoProbably because most people commenting here don't know it. ;)
- canadiancreed 13y agoI second this. Have a mate of mine that has five years in C and has been able to walk into any shop that he wants, regardless of language they use, and get a gig, and well paying to boot. On the other end of the scale, I have almost six years in PHP and it's worth as much as a broken kinder egg for anything outside the LAMP stack world (and in some cases, within that world as well)
- ciclista 13y agoI've noticed less interesting gigs and lower pay as well for PHP over the last year or so. Spending a lot of time with Python and Go now.
