Choice of programming language is a important decision for any inventor.
when it comes to programming languages there is always a lot of debate going around it.
top 10 dying programming languages.
1
– vb.net
Vp.net is a multi-paradigm object oriented programming language,
implemented on.net mono and net framework
with no code design system.
As a programming language it lacks
many important features,
such as inability to handle pointers
being a microsoft product,
it is not easily transferable to other
operating systems and also it's very slow in processing.
Alternatives that you may use to
vb.net are
Joso
Python
Javascript and
C sharp
2
– ELM
Elm is a functional domain specific language
developed for creating web browser-based gui with better usability.
The reasons for its decline include
Lack of updates
Lack of momentum the fact,
that its operation is academic and because,
it's complex with external javascript
libraries.
alternatives that you may use are
Typescript
React
Javascript
Python and
Rust
3
– Erlang
Erlang is a general purpose
functional programming language with a garbage collected runtime system.
Very few programmers actually use it.
hence it lacks a strong community,
moreover the jobs in demand do not need
erlang as a skill.
It is also hard to set up and deploy
along with complicated debugging.
Popular alternatives to erlang are
Elixir
Go
Clojure and
Python
4
– Coffeescript
Coffeescript compiles to javascript
with syntax inspired by ruby python and haskell.
Talking about its cons, it lacks unequivocal scoping,
so we can not specify which variables to make unapproachable.
it lacks name functions and it's difficult
to resolve exceptions.
the alternatives to coffeescript
that you may use are
Javascript
Typescript
Babel
Python or
React.
5
– Haskell
Haskell is named after haskell
brooks curry a us mathematician who contributed a lot to logic.
Haskell is grounded on lambda math and uses the greek letter lambda as its totem.
Complicated interface
non-suitability for critical applications Higher learning curve,
hence the lack of widespread
implementation popular alternatives to it are,
Java
Python
Rubyand php.
6
– Pascal
Pascal is an imperative &
procedural program language,
that was designed as a tool to
assist the teaching of programming as a systematic learning path.
Its pitfalls include lack of support
issues in control flow and evaluation issues.
it has been replaced by delphi so that is an volition you may use.
and also other languages such as
C sharp
Dart and
Lua can be used as analternative.
7
– Cobol
Cobol is a compiled english-like programming
language designed for business use.
It used in business finance and
administrative systems for companies and governments.
The reasons for its decline are difficulty
in usage,
strong typing rules and difficulty
in passing.
what you can use instead of cobol
are
Python
Java
C
Cobalt and
Javascript
8
– Objective C
Objective c is a simple programming language
designed to enable sophisticated object oriented programming.
it is a strict superset of c,
meaning that any code that has been written
in c,
can be used in objective c programs
without being rewritten.
However it adds some features of its own that can not be used in a traditional c program.
so objective c lost its fashionability with the arrival of nippy,
which is not preferred for ios
development.
moreover it lacks name spacing.
unlike c it contains explicit
pointers,
Alternatives to objective c are of course
swift
C sharp
C plus plus and
Kotlin
9
– Scala
Abbreviated from scalable language,
scala uses an suggestive typing system that ensures statistical abstraction,
that is secure and consistent.
so if it is secure and consistent
why is it having declining popularity.
first off it is hard to understand
its syntax is oddly different from other languages,
secondly it runs on jvn so it has no
tail recursive optimization and more importantly,
it has poor developer pool making it
have a weak community alternatives of scala are
Kotlin
Python
Java and go.
10 – Perl
Which stands for practical
extraction reporting language.
perl is a high level language used
for general purpose programming.
the reason why it has come less popular lately include,
Its complex
Syntax high cpu requirements,
Large need with memory and
poor structuring in arguments.
if you have been using poil in the
past you may move to alternatives such as
Php
Python
Java
C or
Javascript
