Amazing these "dead" languages I first sorta-learned in the 80 - before being guided to Basic and C (and Foxpro). It's similar now to how folks need me to maintain their "ancient" Perl or PHP apps they just cannot find time to rebuild.
- idiocrat 7y agoA parable I recall sometimes. In Europe the grandfather has worked all his life to build a house, which will last for generations. The father has worked all his life to buy a car, which will last for generations. And the son is working with the aim to buy a yacht. But in Japan each generation is working all life to re-build a house, which lasts only one generation.
