Melyik backend nyelv fizet a legjobban 2026-ban?

Most people look for a ranking of backend languages by salary, but the data usually shows something more nuanced. It is not the language itself but the domain and system complexity that drive pay. High salaries tend to cluster around Go, Rust, and Scala roles because they are used in high scale or performance critical systems, while Java and Python also pay very well in enterprise and data heavy environments.

Even recent salary data shows backend pay varies widely based on experience, location, and specialization rather than just stack choice . So optimizing only for language can be misleading if the underlying work is low impact.

A better approach is to map languages to high value problem spaces like distributed systems, fintech, or data infrastructure. I have seen people use tools like Runable along with job market data platforms to reverse engineer which stacks are tied to higher paying roles and align their learning accordingly.

In short, language matters less than the kind of problems you are solving and the scale at which you solve them.
