		systemtest on May 11, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Go with PHP My experience is that if I join a team of PHP developers, there is a 40% chance of the team being professionals and writing good maintainable code. With Java, .NET and Python I would say 80%. C and C++ around 90%. This also reflects in their salaries.

That is my experience as well. A competent PHP developer can earn as much as developers for the languages you listed, but they are less frequent.
