SQL is old (was popular before I started programming). Python is new (I remember when it became popular). SQL is also the second oldest language in top the 20, after C. Hell, the only languages older than SQL on that list overall are C, Fortran, Lisp and Assembly

Alas, time is inexorable. Like having a facelift, shifting to "when they became popular" doesn't actually reset the calendar.

Python is older than Java though.

  And JavaScript and PHP and literally half the languages on the top 10.

SQL is 44 years old, and Python is 32. Both are old. I mean, not Lisp/COBOL old, but old.
