А вот уже по взрослому от StackOverflow:

Developer Survey Results 2019

Key takeaways:

• Python, the fastest-growing major programming language, has risen in the ranks of programming languages in our survey yet again, edging out Java this year and standing as the second most loved language (behind Rust).
• Over half of respondents had written their first line of code by the time they were sixteen, although this experience varies by country and by gender.
• DevOps specialists and site reliability engineers are among the highest paid, most experienced developers most satisfied with their jobs, and are looking for new jobs at the lowest levels.
• Of the top countries on our survey, China has developers that are the most optimistic, believing that people born today will have a better life than their parents. Developers in Western European countries like France and Germany are among the least optimistic about the future.
• When thinking about blockers to productivity, different kinds of developers report different challenges. Men are more likely to say that being tasked with non-development work is a problem for them, while gender minority respondents are more likely to say that toxic work environments are a problem.
• We asked respondents to think about the last time they solved coding problems with and without our site. The data indicates that Stack Overflow saves a developer 30 to 90 minutes of time per week!

Короче выводы простые:

• либо кодим на Питоне, либо занимаемся DevOps'ами
• в свободное время надо как-то с пессимизмом бороться (желательно неалкогольными методами)
• на пыхе точно ничего не заработаешь. Хотя кто-то в Гамбурге 100к на нем делает - монстр.
  

Интересно, что Rust всплыл (Most Loved Language), а то я как-то Ржавого пропустил. Похоже за него еще и неплохо плотют. Хотя на Ржавом молодняк по ходу кодит, а старички Clojre предпочитают (ну и зарабатывают выше).
