Can you provide a link? This is great.

Yep. But hey, why doubt good PR! Even COBOL jobs are high paying recently. Nonetheless, This is (real) data from a survey, from one place where language techies hang-out. Not definitive, but interesting. Haskell gets such little respect and good PR, anything is nice to see. And I think that anyone who has to program in Perl deserves higher pay than ... :-) Don't take the numbers "seriously", just enjoy.

Perl as top-paying programming language, and Bash/Shell/PowerShell as number 6 are particularly hard to believe. _______________________________________________

Measuring quality by salary a priori misses the point. If you control for everything else, the numbers will go up as the language gets less desirable to work with. To say nothing of the fact that a language survey on stack overflow is like asking a fish if it prefers Newton or Leibniz notation.
