And ADA seems to be pretty much dead.
I don't understand what you guys are arguing about. Any programmer that I
know who is under 40 only programs in one language: Java. The under age
40 system administrators that I know can't program in any language unless
you call python a language.
There was one prediction that really went wrong,
"I don't know what the programming language of 2000 will look like
but I know it will be called Fortran."
