Subject: [COFF] Most Popular Programming Languages 1965 - 2019
Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2019 00:32:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9ac3bacacec6b3b75b3e1e0ccbb731e0@firemail.de> (raw)


'Interesting overview, but I have my doubts about its accuracy. Lisp
seems to have been too popular in the mid-1980s, and at the same time
he claims that Ada was the most popular language. Both seem highly
unlikely to me. '
fully agree. I never saw a lisp, ada job offer!
In the mid/late 1980s pascal and C were popular languages, whereas therestill were lots of cobol/fortran, mostly cobol, job offers.
