Fredrick DooleyWe analyze the rating from Dice Insights, which shows which programming languages are in most demand among employers and, moreover, are well paid.
Why are we interested in these two parameters? Because they usually are used by future developers to choose the direction of their career path and the main programming language to study. The ranking is based on Burning Glass data about the number of vacancies, which mentioned a particular programming language from January to March 2021 in the U.S.
The table below shows the median salary of programmers who work with these programs, and estimated increase in demand and demand for these professionals in the labor market in the next decade.
Note that TypeScript is a superstructure over JS, so any code, any program written in it, is compiled in JS. Most reputable publications and companies, including Redmonk, in their ratings label it as a full-fledged and equal to other programming language. Having analyzed and compared all 9 leaders, we understand that TypeScript is currently the most promising (as far as demand is concerned) and offers a good median salary. That’s why we recommend paying attention to it for anyone who wants to enrich their skills.
