Between python, JavaScript, perl, c, c++, and Erlang... My money's on Erlang. Note that Erlang has a two year head start on perl (and 5 on python), and Elixir

Between python, JavaScript, perl, c, c++, and Erlang... My money's on Erlang.
Note that Erlang has a two year head start on perl (and 5 on python), and Elixir has a hard Erlang dependency.
- __d 4y agoC 1972, C++ 1985, Erlang 1986, Perl 1988, Python 1991, JavaScript 1995. C is half-way to 100: an amazing fact in the rapidly-changing world of technology. Of all these, Perl seems to have suffered the biggest loss of popularity so far, while Erlang has the least popularity to lose. I'd be somewhat surprised if any of these are still in common use in 2072, but OTOH, I'd also be surprised if any of them were completely unused, with the possible exception of Perl.
