1. Go

Average Salary of Programmer: $125,000

Go, also known as Golang, is a statically typed, compiled programming language developed by Google. It shares syntax similarities with C but incorporates features like memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. Go has two major implementations: Google’s “gc” compiler toolchain and gofrontend, which integrates with other compilers. Moreover, GopherJS is a third-party compiler that translates Go code to JavaScript for front-end web development. According to the TIOBE Index, Go is the 13th most popular programming language as of July 2023.

The rising adoption of Golang by companies has resulted in a demand for skilled Golang developers. This shortage has led to increased salaries and numerous high-paying job opportunities. Hence, to no surprise, Golang is the highest-paid programming language in USA.
