The favorite coding language debate is one of the hottest topics of discussion among

the coders and programmer has his/her own reasons to defend a particular language.

Last year the average salary of a computer programmer inched towards an all-time

high of $100,000.

There are some languages which make your skill set more valuable and Quartz has

compiled all this data and based on a study from the Brookings Institution, it has

created a list of the highest paying computer programming languages.

If you love to play with codes and you are having full command over some of these

computer programming languages, you can earn around $100,000. You should learn

more diverse languages and focus on your strengths if you want one of the highest

paying jobs in tech.

Youtube is written in Python. Facebook uses a home-grown language called Hack which is derived

from PHP, but that isn't pure PHP. It's actually not as common among major sites as people seem

to think.

No worries. C++ is still the MOST of the MOST. It's ALL those languages are BASED, well almost likely

to say. It doesn't mean that when a new language is born, programmers must quit the habit.

Mastering a language is the MOST IMPORTANT trait a programmer must posses.

Did you seriously just infer that HTML and CSS and "Unix" were programming languages? If you think

that HTML/CSS/ and "Unix" (which I think you mean "shell scripting", not "Unix") are programming

languages, then you probably don't know any of these.
