Do they? It seems like everyone is moving away from scripting languages for new projects these days, at least where web browser-related requirements doesn't push them into using Javascript.
Indeed, before this current pendulum swing, scripting languages had a good run. I'm not convinced it was because of stack traces, though. They won hearts and minds on promises of no longer having to do "XML sit-ups" and whatnot.
- ilyt 4y agoDon't look at hackernews or reddit for what most people actually use. "Scripting languges" are doing just fine for majority of CRUD and CRM stuff most software houses produce.
- throwaway2037 4y agoCrap, yes. The whole world is moving towards NodeJS / Web Browser / JavaScript. I dread it, but I cannot deny it.
- randomdata 4y agoWhere that language is Javascript due to the browser push towards it, sure. The exception was already addressed.
