Those workers with XML or EDI skills were also highly paid, followed by workers skilled in components such as JavaBeans or ActiveX, object-oriented languages such as Java and C++, scripting languages, and C or other procedural languages.... Groupware, rapid application development (RAD) environments and structured programming languages like COBOL or Fortran were associated with the lowest salaries. "But many respondents mentioned other technology categories - and the range, from structured to Web-based, was impressive. Ada and assembler were popular, along with reporting languages (RPG, Progress). ColdFusion, HTML, Java Server Pages and Active Server Pages dominated Web production. Enterprise resource planning packages like Peoplesoft, Baan, and SAP abounded, along with RAD in the form of Delphi, Object Pascal and Powerbuilder. Rarities included Pick Basic, "COBOL vintage 1970," Lisp, Modula-2, Natural, LabView, Tibco middleware, Chill, Python, Eiffel and C#."
