  1. Scripting languages like PERL and TCL by zymano · · Score: -1, Redundant
    Are becoming more and more irrelevant.

    Less and less people are using them.

    Perl is being phased out by ASP and PHP,java and TLC is used by no one really. I will give props for it's speed.

    Can no one create a language thats easy to understand,fast and make development easy ?

    The answer is NO. Because language developers are recycling what they have learned from the past. Example is perl.

    Creating languages that are easy to program with are not sexy to programmers.

    Graphical programming with flowcharts with speech recognition is the future! I HOPE YOU HEARD THAT!

    Coding line by line will be a thing of the past in 20 to 50 years from now.
