Every one will be replaced by AI coding directly in binary.

java: What I’ve been programming in for 25 years
javascript: what i program in when I need to
python: what I’d like to program in and occasionally do
C++: what I used to be very proficient at but then the 1990s ended
c#: I barely knew thee
Kotlin: I do java, what does Kotlin bring me other than android?
Go: isn’t that C renewed?
PHP: it appears to have evolved into a real OO language in recent years. I’ll still avoid it

[Openurmind]

PHP has become the go to standard.

I’ll guess that you had a problem with Fortran?

I’ll stick with 370 assembler. When it’s extra cold outside I bring up an other initiator to heat my home and repeatedly run batch jobs against VSAM files. By the way, writing JCL is not programming. 😂

Actually, I’m mostly a retired C++ and Java guy with some C# and PHP thrown in. I have a legacy of dozens of languages going back to WATFOR, ALGOL, PL/1, plus various assembly languages. That’s not a big deal, just age. Any experienced programmer can learn to code in a new language in a week or so. They are logically equivalent and frequently syntactically and semantically nearly equivalent. Once you understand the underlying programming model being used, you can quickly come up to speed. Ergo, who really cares what programming language is being used? The interesting part is solving the business/science problem at hand.

no worries, FORTRAN will still be here...

[epluribus_2]

Java fetishes complexity allowing application teams to architect elegant, reusable frameworks with so many layers of idiosyncratic nonsense noone will ever re-use them and the next batch of developers don’t understand the class hierarchies or how to change them when no longer working for the business rules (one size fits all). This gets expensive, coded in cement, outsourced, massive and opaque software leafs to inevitable system death, rebirth, rewrites, then cancelled for smaller, flatter, cloud based Python, Notebooks, cloud functions while noone knows why the microsservices no longer work after Bob or Sally left.

I still miss Pascal.

Spring Boot is the only way to go for Java development these days.

I bet I’m the only one here who remembers “Promal”? ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROMAL

[Regulator]

Wait, where’s Ada?!

[TKeith]

What? No LISP?

Wait. Did something happen to Z8000 Assembler?

I only know: Jibberish : )

“BASIC!!”, he shouted, banging his walker loudly on the floor for emphasis.

[CFW]

I suspect that within a few years, there will be no human-written programming language. All computer language will be written by AI itself.

[MV=PY]

My path:

Fortran in college (Mainframe)
Basic (TRS80)
Z80 Assembly (early microprocessor industrial control, custom hardware)
Turbo Pascal (IBM PC)
C/C++
Modula 2
VB
C# (On it since it was introduced, love it!)

PHP and JavaScript run the majority of the web. WordPress uses both extensively and more websites run WordPress than any other CMS.
