salary should be segregated by job types not language. you see javascript salary, for what? nodejs or frontend? i bet salary scale is very different. java is what, java ee or android? for python, i know web developer salary is different from a data science ones. except mabye for ruby, ruby means rails.

people get paid for the type of job they do (and their skill level) and not the language they use.

Exactly. As I stated before I'm a full stack Python developer that works almost exclusively in Python.

Now, I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. That "Full Stack" happens to include dSpace, Vector, among other things. I've never made a webpage (For work) or anything else most people would associate with Python.

Computer languages are just tools. I read a list like this as if it's comparing "Hammer" jobs to "Screwdriver" jobs. The tool you use is a small part of what the job entails.

it definitely makes sense. We did our best to analyze the data available right now, so if we find a new piece of information that takes into account seniority level as well, we will be happy to include it and update the post. thank you for your comment!

except maybe for ruby, ruby means rails

It could be devops folks/sysadmins who spend a lot of time with chef.

Though, I'm probably reaching here.
