[pm-h] Python and Perl is Dead

[Mike Flannigan]

I talked to my nephew today.  He will graduate from
a tech school in Computer Science, or some similar
degree related to computer software.

I asked him what software languages he uses.  Java,
C Sharp, something else, and believe it or not
Cobol and AS400 (for govt work).  I said what about
Python.  Oh, that's pretty much dead he says.  I said
"and of course Perl is dead, right?"  Yeah, he says,
nobody uses Perl, except you.

Yeah, OK.  Sure.

I asked him what he would recommend for somebody if
they don't use Java.  He says "C Sharp, I guess".
I asked him about Go.  He had never heard of it!
