As we are at the end of 2023, I trust this year has been rewarding for you in your coding endeavours.
As coders, we consistently keep abreast of programming languages, aiming to identify the top paying and most popular programming languages of the year.
It is crucial to pay attention to these surveys to analyze the demands of 2024 and secure a promising future for yourself.
Let’s embark on this journey step by step.
Top Paying Programming Languages 2023
According to the 2023 Stack Overflow Developers Survey report, I’d charted the highest-paying programming languages.
Undoubtedly, this is among the most reliable and extensive survey platforms.
| Technologies | $(Paid Salary) |
| Zig | $103,611 |
| Erlang | $99,492 |
| F# | $99,311 |
| Ruby | $98,522 |

| Elixir | $96,381 |
| Lisp | $96,381 |
| Scala | $96,381 |
| Perl | $94,540 |
| Go | $92,760 |
Zig claims the highest-paid language to know this year (a new addition) with $103,611, while Clojure gets knocked from the top spot with a 10% decrease from the 2022 report.
Are you excited to know what about languages like Python, Java, Javascript and more?
- In the current year, Python secured the 25th position with a salary of $103,611, marking a significant increase from the estimated $74,351 in 2022.
- Meanwhile, other salaries included JavaScript ($74,034), Java ($72,701), C ($74,351), and SQL ($74,351).
Most Popular Programming Languages 2023
According to the 2023 Stack Overflow Developers Survey report, I’d charted the most popular programming languages.
Undoubtedly, this is among the most reliable and extensive survey platforms.
| Technologies | %(All Respondents) |
|---|---|
| JavaScript | 63.61% |
| HTML/CSS | 52.97% |
| Python | 49.28% |
| SQL | 48.66% |

| C# | 27.62% |
| C++ | 22.42% |
| C | 19.34% |
2023 continues JavaScript’s streak as its eleventh year in a row as the most commonly-used programming language.
Python has overtaken SQL as the third most commonly-used language, but for the non professional developers Python is the first choice over Javascript and SQL.
