uh what languages live for 30+ years? i think they die quicker these days.
@gerd C has definitely been around longer than 30 years FORTRAN is old too COBOL etc etc
@SamanthaCayne i mean i guess I'm not old enough to have experienced the death of any mainstream languages, but it surely feels like a new language is created every day and a few of them never move out of the really early stages.
@gerd i mean its uhh one of those thing where someone wants to make a new language but no one in the end wants to use said lang because they have their tried and true methods and langs
@gerd I think the idea is, a language has a better chance of living 30 years if you consider what properties it would have to have to live that long
@gerd where are these quotes from, btw?
