Ask Slashdot: What's New In Legacy Languages?

First time accepted submitter liquiddark writes "I was listening to a younger coworker talk to someone the other day about legacy technologies, and he mentioned .NET as a specific example. It got me thinking — what technologies are passing from the upstart and/or mainstream phases into the world of legacy technology? What tech are you working with now that you hope to retire in the next few years? What will you replace it with?"

    It's as hip as Java was in 1999, but without the commitment to backwards compatibility. That's the sure sign of a technology that's soon-to-be-obsolete.

    I probably insult people more than they deserve, but you somehow managed to read a post telling you to look something up and somehow, without looking things up, assumed that there is only one index of programming language popularity. Or something. It is unfathomable how you could reach such a deep level of stupidity. Like, do you practice it in the mirror?

    In any case, here is another language popularity website. There are others. I am not someone who will claim to be always right, but 99.99% of the time I will be right over someone who doesn't check their facts. I wish people like you would check your facts, then the conversations around here would be so much more interesting.
