This is heavily biased by the dataset, I suspect. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's just a list of which languages have high-paying employers who put salary in their job listings. That a crypto thing is top of the list, I take as (soft) evidence in favor of that suspicion.

Anyway, what everyone really wants to know is where some sweet spot of current-comp, comp-five-years-from-now, and availability-of-jobs, lies. I don't think this list helps much with that.
