The "a 60 years old programming language" thing is such an odd opening given that you could also say that anything running C is "technology from the 1970s" using the same logic. It's a shame that following that statement, a significant chunk of the article seems to be spent countering the idea that it's and old, uncool language. I wish more words had been given to why FL tried and failed to get something newer off the ground while MA succeeded. While the legacy system might work just fine, extending its lifetime might just be kicking the can further down the line, increasing maintenance costs and making transition an even riskier change along the way.
