Top 7 Dying Programming Languages to Avoid Studying in 2019 –2020.

Each language gets a paragraph's treatment as to why he thinks these languages are dead or dying. Those languages are:

  • Visual Basic
  • Objective-C
  • Perl
  • COBOL
  • CoffeeScript
  • Scala
  • Lisp

Do you agree with his assessment? Are there any other language(s) you would add to the list?

    I'm so old, I remember why most of the RFCs specify data transfer in octets instead of bytes or another unit because they were different sizes on different machines. And "nybble" has a "y" in it, heretics!

      That comment divides all Soylentils into two categories. 1) Those who think you are old because they know what that comment is referencing. 2) Those who think you are old because you had a stroke when writing that comment.
