i’m branching out: c, python, maybe even java…

Though I had made my mind up a while ago to start seriously hacking other languages besides PHP, I saw something today that really reinforced that decision: average programmer salaries.

Erlang $99,000 (added 8 June 2008) … Java $79,000 Python $78,000 Perl $77,000 Ruby $74,000 COBOL $73,000 (added due to demand)
JavaScript $72,000
ColdFusion $64,000 (8 June 2008)
Delphi $64,000 PHP $64,000 …

Yikes!
