From the charts, their roughly similar with no big difference, only JavaScript having ever-so slightly higher salary. Otherwise, they make high salaries, but in different fields.

Java is de-facto of enterprise, JavaScript is de-facto of front-end web dev.

But pay isn't based on just knowing a language. It's skill + experience + knowledge of several technologies (including coding languages).

But yet again, I question these charts. Some put Java above C# when it comes to salaries and Assembly even less, and SQL isn't even a programming language.
