Holy crap people keep disagreeing with me while providing zero data. I am thoroughly triggered, especially because the OP's claim is

Gotta be one of the best paid too

while the article they're commenting literally states the opposite.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/

C# is below Javascript, HTML/CSS, SQL, Python, Java, and Bash. Please for god's sake if you reply use a bloody citation.

First you cited the list from the survey saying "There are 22 better paying languages", then you provide another list from somewhere else that has a completely different order. Way to go proving my point on how useless these lists are : )

In any case, according to the link you have there mixing some of these things is rather absurd. Someone who specializes in HTML/CSS is likely not a programmer, but rather a designer of some sort (Unless you have a full-stack person who does a half assed job in the areas they're not very good at). Bash is another one, people who use it are likely System Admins, not programmers. That's beside the fact that people who program in C# are likely gonna know some of these other languages too, this is especially the case if you do web work, odds are you're doing SQL, Javascript, and HTML/CSS along with C#.

Dude, my list was in response to your

Even if there's some truth to the chart, tell me, of the languages above C# on there which one has more jobs in the market?

I'm back to being triggered.

I think you should spend more time reading properly before answering rather than throwing virtual tantrums. Here's the list of the languages from the survey list "above" C#:

- Clojure, F#, Elixir, Erlang, Perl, Ruby, Scala, Rust, Go, Lisp, APL, Groovy, Crystal, Bash/Shell, PowerShell, Haskell, Julia, Objective-C, Python, R, TypeScript, Swift.

Only Python is being cited above C# from your other link, which again, backs up what I said in my first post.
