With Pitchbox[1] we've seen full-stack engineers typically have the potential to earn the same in Ruby, .NET, or any language for that matter...compensation variation usually comes down to who they work for and the company's compensation ceiling more so then the language.

More narrowly focused skill-sets on the other hand will have variation...for example, developers that solely want to work on the front-end (e.g. backbone) are going to make 20K-40K+ less then their full-stack counterparts.

I had to read this sentence about 5 times before I realized that "backbone" was probably the name of a UI library.
