What is the average salary for Perl programmers in 2020?

If I have no definitive answer on this, the Business Insider has some insights:

HackerRank polled 116000 developers about their salaries and got interesting results:

• Perl is associated with an average global salary of $84,025.50 (54.2% higher than the global average salary)
• Scala is associated with an average global salary of $77,159.60
• Go is associated with an average global salary of $72,691.30
• Python is associated with an average global salary of $56,670.90
• JavaScript is associated with an average global salary of $55,690

Without more information about the polled panel it’s hard to state this results as “Truth” but they seems to confirm personal beliefs:

Why Perl in 2020?

“Nobody use it. It’s a dead language. It’s a technology of the past…” Are the kind of statement you’ll be likely to hear about Perl nowadays.

Nonetheless, I’ve landed one of the most exciting mission I’ve ever had because of Perl. I’ve met great people, because of Perl. I’ve solved issues in no time, because of Perl.

So, there’s no chance I’ll drop Perl any time soon.
