why would any programming language ever go away?
Are there any examples? hmm lemme go look up "dead programming languages"

OH wait hahah oh shit, when i looked up "dead programming languages" I got this hah

Dice.com, the site for programming and technology jobs, recently posted a fun article claiming Perl, Ruby, Flash, Visual Basic.NET, and Delphi's Object Pascal all are dead languages, no longer worthy to learn or use.

I guess @inertia proved them wrong
