On Stack Overflow Jobs, you can create your own Developer Story to showcase your achievements and advance your career. One option you have when creating a Developer Story is to add tags you would like to work with or would not like to work with:
[...] The most disliked languages, by a fairly large margin, are Perl, Delphi, and VBA. They're followed by PHP, Objective-C, Coffeescript, and Ruby. On our team we're certainly happy to see that R is the least disliked programming language, relative to the number of people who liked it.
[...] Generally there is a relationship between a tag's growth and how often it's disliked. Almost everything disliked by more than 3% of stories mentioning it is shrinking in Stack Overflow traffic (except for the quite polarizing VBA, which is steady or slightly growing). And the least-disliked tags— R, Rust, Typescript and Kotlin— are all among the fast-growing tags (Typescript and Kotlin growing so quickly they had to be truncated in the plot).
Hate away, guys, you just make my skills and willingness to write perl more valuable.

Hey, old timer. What programming language did you use on that Antikythera mechanizzle?

Back then we did this thing called, machine code? Level one stuff. Right into to the, well, it was mostly brass or bronze gears then, now they would say on bare silicon, but that is not quite correct, either. The representation of pure thought, or mathematics, onto a machine, is nothing to be sneezed at in any era. I recommend you keep it in mind, you script-kiddies with your Java and such. At some point, the rubber meets the road, or, as we used to say, the Bronze matches the rise of Vega.
