I'm both amused and saddened. I still occasionally run into Fortran, Perl, Pascal you name it. I do more work in Golang, C++ or Scala these days, but I am always reminded that at once time, Pascal and C ruled. What is sad is that the language of the day group has declared the Queen dead but she's still quite alive -- older, but alive. This is programming folks -- we are programmers. We write in the language that is asked of us. We can't know every language, but flexibility matters -- both in languages and us. Sure Rust is hot right now, but I remember when that was Scala. Remember when D was going to replace C++? Learn what you can in as many places as you can.
