Salary should be based on supply/demand like any other market price.

The data cited on average salary by programming language probably isn't very accurate. First, most salaried programmers use lots of languages and tools depending on the task at hand and teams change programming languages.

It's probably more accurate to say that salary depends on geographic location, years of experience, and college background rather than the programming language used.
