Is it too late for you to change the news.yc title to "12 Coding Languages That Waned"? It's ridiculous to say that PowerBuilder and ColdFusion never took off.

- sethg 19y agoEven that would be too generous. Brainfuck, Befunge, INTERCAL, and Java2k were jokes, duh, never intended by their authors to "take off" in the first place. And I think "never took off" and "waned" are both inaccurate when applied to Haskell. I don't know much about VRML, SMIL, and Haskell, but I'm not inclined to trust this author's judgement of them.
- brlewis 19y agoYou're right. Haskell, despite having been around a few years, is early in its life. I suppose the right title would be "12 languages that aren't wildly popular in 2007."
