Programmers and programming languages: who gets paid the most?

It is no secret that IT workers receive quite high salaries. Probably, only doctors and lawyers get more (if we are talking about the USA), and even then not always. Among programmers, there is also a strong salary segregation, which depends on the programming language in which the IT worker specializes.

In July, the Brookings Research Institute conducted a study of the salaries of programmers. Some of the results of this study, or more precisely, the salaries of programmers, recently published the publication Business Insider.

Data are presented in ascending order of annual salary:
')
12. PERL - $ 82513
11. SQL - $ 85,511
10. Visual Basic - $ 85,962
9. C # - $ 89074
8. R - $ 90055
7. C - 90134
6. JavaScript - $ 91,461
5. C ++ - $ 93502
4. JAVA - $ 94908
3. Python - $ 100,717
2. Objective C - $ 108225
1. Ruby on Rails - $ 109460

The maximum salary in the IT field, however, is not earned by programmers.
In the USA, the palm of superiority belongs to the architects of Salesforce , who are paid $ 180,000 - $ 200,000 per year.
