The only differentiation I might make is whether there are implementations still out in the world. Pascal and Fortran have more or less complete and free compilers available (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_%28programming_language%29 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Pascal for example) and so there are niche specialties that continue to use them for specialized applications. Contrast those with zombie languages where you have to find 20-year-old floppy-disk or CD-based installers to install a proprietary IDE on a new machine. Those are walking dead. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4tna=jyd24torukz7tmrdynwypady07ib6ve49ho4q...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
