while reading the EU software development salary survey,
oreilly 2016 european software development salart survey

[^]

i wondered if HTML/JS/CSS should be counted as one language or not.

Yes, technically they are 3, but how often does anyone use them completely on their own?

HTML on its own, yes.
JavaScript, maybe - node doing some fancy server side stuff.
CSS, uhm, does this do anything without HTML?

If write some JQuery, you could end up writing all your HTML as strings and push to screen.


point being, from the survey average used number of respondents languages was 3.6. Well sure, if split them as 3 languages.

but how effective are you? Not as effective as someone that knows Bash, Java and Swift (i was gonna put c# and java, but wanted 3 somewhat different languages)

So maybe for future surveys, those three (HTML/JS/CSS) should be combined as 1 or 1.5 languages?
