In this Cognixia podcast episode, the focus is on ErLang, a programming language with high median salaries, surpassing even popular languages like Python and Rust, as per the 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. Despite ErLang's low adoption rate, it is highly valuable, particularly in industries like telecom and banking, due to its strength in handling concurrent processes and mission-critical applications. ErLang developers are rare, making their skills highly sought-after and well-compensated. The podcast encourages developers to consider learning ErLang alongside more popular languages to enhance their career prospects.
