Javascript is the devil’s tongue.

If I were a programmer, I’d probably prefer to be maintaining some ancient language that entire city is dependent on me maintaining. Those languages never die.

Coding sucks! Learn Physical Sciences.

I thought I was succeeding in moving away from COBOL programming at my old job. Then Y2K came around, and I was put on that team, and they didn’t know what to do with me after. The group I might have worked with had moved on without me.

[DEPcom]

it is... An evil I must live with.

Have to wonder How many of those Javascript libraries are develop with China CCP programmers?

[SkyPilot]

I remember the first language I learned was APL (A Programming Language).

I found it is a difficult as teaching a rattlesnake to fetch. Drove me crazy.

COBOL and Fortran live on.

Meh, I still code in 0s and 1s.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Coding sucks!

It's not for everyone. "Oh, so I forgot to put the semi-colon at the end of line #247. THAT'S why it won't compile! Grrrrr!"

I would have ended up in a rubber room by now.

[lefty-lie-spy]

It pays more to manage programmers.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

C++: Once a premier top-level programming language and now used primarily in gaming and high-performance applications, C++ stands at #5 in Average Salary and #5 in Job Postings.

The thing is, though, if you know C++, you're going to be able to pick up every other language in this list. If you interview with me and you can demonstrate that you know C++ inside and out, I'm pretty confident you'll be able to master any other language we have you working on.

Originally developed by Oracle, Java is extremely popular...

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems.

[dfwgator]

Pretty much makes me question the legitimacy of this article right off the bat.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

REXX, Object REXX

[Flick Lives]

It pays more to manage programmers.

“Manage programmers”. That ain’t ever gonna happen!

[attiladhun2]

Wouldn’t want to work around programmers. They’re all flamming libs and are goofy

I have 14 years in Sys370 mainframe assembler.

That was 20 years ago.... After Y2K, couldn’t find another job.

Been cleaning carpets since.
