Almost Extinct Computer Language
« on: December 30, 2011, 05:59:51 PM »
Are you familiar with old computer languages such as [Adobe] ColdFusion or CFML? Some companies still use this and are willing to pay more than they'd like to those who do know this almost extinct language.

coldfusion isnt actually all that old... i think Pascal and COBOL are old... and are most likely DEAD...

Pascal and Cobol are not dead...Banks still use Pascal and Cobol for legacy apps that will never go away.

Coldfusion...s heesh...I self studied coldfusion back in Y2k...never did much with it besides built stupid silly websites that did nothing.

It's way cheaper to start over if you ask me.

interesting.. i'd assumed those 2 old ass languages have been replaced by something better by now...

Haven't touched COBOL for over a decade.... I hated that language. Every time you wanted to see the errors or so, you had to actually output it on paper. A PITA..lol. I assumed that has improved?

They probably didn't have good tool supported at the time.
