Five Languages That Won’t Ever Die
Immortal is a word I’d use to describe them
When it comes to programming, software development/engineering, and all of the enclosed fields, you see that, in the real world, there are really only a handful of languages that get used in day to day operations, and it is extremely hard for any one language to break that barrier to entry.
There are some very good reasons as to why the popularity of programming languages doesn’t shift all that often, and the biggest one, in my eyes, is backwards compatibility with existing code bases. The biggest problem with introducing a new language into the ecosystem is that developers have a choice to make: find a way to make it work with what they have, or start over fresh…and that’s not a fun choice to make.
Also, please note that my opinions are going to be sprinkled into this story about as much as possible because it’s just not fun writing a story like this one without throwing some anecdotal and potentially arbitrary comments into the mix.
With all that in mind, let’s look at five programming languages that just won’t die. Ever. Like, ever ever.
C / C++
Honestly, I like these two languages. They’re old, but still viable for use in more ways than one. C++ is kept updated by the ISO…
