  • Good news

    From J-P. Rosen@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 28 13:29:03 2022
    A recent survey (https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-10-outdated-programming-languages-to-forget-in-2022/)
    enumerated the "TOP 10 OUTDATED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES TO FORGET IN
    2022". Although it mentionned COBOL, Pascal,
    Objective-C among others, it didn't mention Ada.
    Let's hope that it's not because the journalist didn't even know about
    Ada...

    Disclaimer: anyway, I don't think there is any value in that kind of survey,
    I was just afraid of seeing Ada mentionned...

    A site called "Analytics Insight?"

    "No!" interrupted Owl, who was wise.

    For sure, they listed criteria of "outdated" and then shown how these
    languages fulfill them. No? I am shocked! (:-))

    The #1 on the list is VB.NET: "With developers actively adopting modern languages like .NET and C#, it might see itself shelved very soon."
    Oh wait, is .NET a language now?
    If you click on the link under "Microsoft", you land into something with the title:
    "In this article know about the top 10 Microsoft programming languages to know in 2022"
    One of them is VB.NET...

    Of course, the only reason VB.net carries the .net is to differentiate it from VB6 and earlier. The earlier VB variants using native Win32 API. In contrast, VB.net and C# (which looks to my eye like a C/C++ that was reverse-infected by Java) both rely upon the so-called "managed" common language runtime ("It's NOT the JVM!") that came in with the .NET scheme.

    From the same site:

    "The latest programming language of Google, named Carbon will bring back the glory days of C++"
    https://www.analyticsinsight.net/googles-carbon-can-do-what-rust-cant-outperforming-c-in-programming/

    "The purpose of this new work-in-progress programming language is to convert the C++ codebases in a better way than Rust. According to experts, Rust doesn’t have the same bi-directional interoperability as other tools [...]"
