Anyone who argues that a given technology is outdated/antiquated/boring has already lost the argument. Sometimes that tech is already part of the operating environment and can get the job done efficiently enough that there's no need to install another piece of software (read: dependency). Other times you have no choice because the project consists of half a million lines of code written in that "outdated" language, and there is simply no practical way to fix a given bug or add a new feature by introducing another language. P.S.: "Boring" technologies tend to also be stable technologies, a trait sought by smart programmers.
