Sure but that isn't what I said. Big data, cloud services smart tech people definitely needs to be paid as much as the smart business people. Compilers, meh.

You’ve got a point, which is that kickass compiler people often love PL so much that they’ll do it at a deep discount.

I’ve found this on average to more true of “niche” languages: Julia, Haskell, etc.

C++ compiler people much less often fuck around on their comp.

In my experience.
