MODERATORS
Functional languages like Scala, Haskell, and Lisp dialects are prominent in some industries. Scala is especially workable since it runs on the JVM so there are plenty of Java shops with a chunk of Scala that needs maintaining. Haskell is a little worse on pay since it's a very enthusiast-driven language, so people will take a hit on pay to write the language they like. Most of the jobs are also in crypto and other evil shit, so it's kind of depressing when the market is otherwise cold.
Rust is still in this category, though it's in a hype cycle right now so the market can be weird. Modern PHP is having something of a renaissance, so if you don't still write the ancient garbage version then you can get into some neat spaces.
I also imagine knowing how to write modern C++ will probably get you quite far, considering how much of the industry still writes the C++ I learned in high school.
