Friends don't let friends cite TIOBE.
BTW, for fun, see this recent job for a Haskell expert in India - http://www.simplyhired.co.in/job-id/jh4gosrgqr/haskell-expert-jobs/ http://www.simplyhired.co.in/job-id/jh4gosrgqr/haskell-exper... -- turns out (I asked) they're developing tools to translate COBOL into more modern languages, since you can't hire COBOL programmers anymore.
Of course, the translation tool is in Haskell. :}
- JulianMorrison 14y agoOr perhaps, they want to write a COBOL monad...
- cassandravoiton 14y agoSounds like a challenge. Should be do-able in managed COBOL using delegates.
- ahnunahki 14y agoAnd if you ever worked in modernizing legacy (COBOL,RPG..) applications you'd know that those translating tools are absolute shit. In the end all that code ends up being rewritten in a language that is more corporate friendly and not some sanskrit equivalent.
