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.

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.

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