I was really hoping it was going to be posts saying C or Java were dead. Alas, it was regex.

- cutety 8y agoI can give you something close to that. In a thread from 1995[1] some users were skeptical and not buying the C++ hype: > A typical programmer uses FORTRAN, COBOL, C or if they believe the hype, C++. Typical programmers don't use functional languages. From quite a few posts I saw I gathered that a lot of people thought C++ was not going to gain any real adoption, and an OO C was stupid. Which, looking at it from today’s point of view is hilarious. Makes you wander what new thing we’ll all think is just a trend but will become ubiquitous in 20 years.
