Java offers APIs for different activities like Database connection, networking, XML parsing, utilities, etc. First thing: the language has specific limits that are not scaling with the development of the IT structure, sometimes due to memory limits, sometimes due to hardware dependencies. (Of course I’m going out on a limb guessing here. When I got out of school 5 or so years ago I chose C# because jobs seemed to pay more, and I preferred working with the .Net framework. And yes, other languages have these features too. I have programmed in COBOL for 18 years. YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! a hammer or saw or drill cannot do everything. The language still bore the syntax of BASIC, but the coding approach was similar to that of C#. While Perl 6 has different syntax, Perl 5 compatibility is a basic requirement of the language. Sometimes it’s not possible, but other times it is very possible. Puppet and Chef are still popular and based on Ruby. And even if Flash disappears from the internet completely, it is showing no signs of decay in its other major purpose: animation. This statement falls into Carl Sagan’s category of “extraordinary claims”. And if you want to use XAMARIN inside it… just add it’s 999$/year/seat to get the real picture. The other “exotic” languages were mostly for research. I don’t mean to suggest that is something you should want to do. Some people still keep and maintain their Atari STs, Commodore Amigas, Apple II PCs and their requisite languages – that doesn’t mean those products and tools aren’t dead. I live close to Wall Street and have watched the job ads for years… the only Delphi developers being hired were to help port Delphi or Delphi/Java systems to C#. And again… Delphi is not “sugar-coated assembler”. All rights reserved. I was using Microsoft’s MBASIC in 1980. On top of that, it’s not fully multi-platform; it doesn’t run on desktop Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc. You’d be marking the language for death right there. Don’t worry about that. So, Object Pascal is dead. With sincere apologies to my fallen Delphi comrades, I must announce the death of Object Pascal. combinations (think of 3 items that have 6 combinations: ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA) then I want to be able to pick any 6 out of those 10 combinations, as I recall, the number if 10! Some well-known projects depend on them (Redmine). Then, ten years ago, while sitting in a Office Depot, checking out desks and chairs, I started chatting with another customer who started talking about some event on that date fifteen years before… and I STILL didn’t make the connection. In my experience I see far too many devs who rely on and use gems like they’re Lego bricks to build apps that result in code (callback hell) that’s a nightmare to maintain. Don’t publish the “death of Ruby” to the huge community of Rubyists in Boston! In an (in)famous example, both C# and Java beat natively compiled Delphi in the SciMark benchmark, for instance. You may discard my opinion, but your article sucks. C++ is literally designed by committee and added every feature in existence with no overall design in mind. “C#/Java is slow” is often said by people who haven’t looked at C# or Java in 8-10 years. And perl is used everywhere for simple data transfers and filtering. The coffin was laid to rest with some moving words from JavaScript, though to be fair the more mature attendees found it confusing and too basic in nature and didn’t like the idea of closure. Heck, even the class I’m in is teaching us c++ 11. Because I could easily be just as ignorant and slander Assembly for being similarly obtuse. Around the time when I was abandoning COBOL for ‘C’ to write Microsoft OS/2 PM programs (it’s true, I had 5 Microsoft OS/2 technical manuals that I probably still have in storage, lol…) * Perl That is not “compatibility” in my book — that is bridge to another language. I don’t think that VB.NET will die soon…after all, it is called BASIC for a reason and it is tremendously easier to master than C# or Java (which is the combination of all bad things from all programming languages). They will purposefully write code that is so unreadable, compounded with the alien nature of their obscure language, that they are the only ones who might maintain a given application. Here are 10 of the most weird and impractical ever created. For websites, I’d never use Perl, and Rails only for something simple. Add(‘ you did’); / 6! In respect to your comment — *Citation Needed. They say in biology “That which is not growing is dying”. Don’t bother learning it. The fragmentation in the tools market has become much worse than it was and the fashions seem to come and go at ever increasing speed. Open Truths are sometimes hurting, but the fact is what is practical is LIFE? 4,45%. At five I decided to walk up to a video store (then, still ramping up in number and videos on the shelves) to drop off a tape. Funny, this is the first time I have read anything like this about Perl…. What does Delphi offer in 2014 that C++, Java, C#, etc. I was in the middle of the Mathilda overpass of Central Expressway when the quake hit; it almost threw me over the handrail – which would have meant a 40 foot fall onto a median barrier with survival unlikely – but while my head was a couple of feet on the other side of the handrail, my body mass was below the rail and kept me on the walkway. Ruby – was Ruby targeted for tarring and feathering because it borrowed heavily from Perl? The more a language tutorial is searched, the more popular the language is assumed to be. Also 11th in Langpop Google Search analysis. The coders have also changed, some better than others. no way! I agree. Banks like C++ for front-office trading because the code can be very tight and very fast. Ruby can also be used for processing like Perl, as I understand it, or writing standalone console apps. The original Delphi and its Object Pascal language actually presented a great working environment; the language was a bit wordy, but the compiler was fast and it was much easier to create Windows programs in compared to Visual Basic (I’m talking pre-Visual Basic.NET here, around 1995).
