Great for the devs, but not so great for managers, right?

I don’t think that’s necessarily the right conclusion.
There are at least two important factors we need to consider: employer location and developer experience. We know that Elixir companies are focused towards senior developers - which is something we need to tackle as we grow - and that will reflect on those values. I think as the community expands and we have more companies around the world, those values will go down (the same for other languages).
Those are my thoughts. I don’t think we have enough data to draw conclusions though.

I also think that the population of Elixir and Erlang that took the survey was big enough that it was counted, but small enough, that it skewed the results toward high-seniority levels.
I posted it there more as a curiosity rather than “serious analysis”.

It is worth to note, that Elixir and Erlang only $77/year ahead of Perl and Ruby, so I’d say they all are on the same level.
