10 Dying Programming Languages In 2020 -Programming Languages You Need To Steer Clear Of|Simplilearn

There are more than 700 programming languages in the world. Although just about everyone has a say in the most important ones you need to learn, we're going in a different route, and giving you a heads up on the languages you're better off not learning.These are 10 dying programming languages of 2020!

  1. x Perl 10

  2. x Perl 10

  3. 10 x Perl • High-level, • General-purpose • Interpreted • Dynamic programming language

  4. x Perl 10 Click here to watch the video

  5. 10 Perl Features: • Mission critical • Object-oriented, • Procedural and functional • Easily extendible • Text manipulation • Unicode support • Database integration • C/C++ library interface • Embeddable • Open Source

  6. 10 Perl Reasons For Decline: • Perl 6 took too long to release • Too much depth in comparison to its contemporaries • High memory usage • Still perceived as a windows tool

  7. x Objective C 9

  8. 9 x Objective C • General-purpose • Object Oriented • Supported by Apple for macOS, iOS and their APIs

  9. 9 x Objective C Features: • Existed for many years • Compatible with C and C++ • Well tested • Very stable • Easier use of private APIs • Dynamic features like method swizzling • Better support for writing binary functions

  10. 9 x Objective C Reasons For Decline: • Harder to learn • A decrease in the number of developers • Applications are easier to hack than its Swift alternative • Lacking support for dynamic libraries

  11. x ColdFusion 8

  12. 8 x ColdFusion • Web application development platform • V1 aimed to make connections between HTML pages to a database easier • By V2, it included an IDE and a full scripting language

  13. 8 x ColdFusion Features: • Asynchronous programming • REST playground • Full CFSCRIPT support • Dynamic and interactive HTML5 charting • External storage for session scope • CFML based mobile app development

  14. 8 x ColdFusion Reasons For Decline: • High licensing costs • Non-existent marketing • Only used by a small pocket of developers • Lack of major projects by large organizations

  15. x Pascal 7

  16. 7 x Pascal • Imperative • Procedural programming language • Intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring

  17. 7 x Pascal Features: • Has different data structures included with records, arrays, files, etc. • Provides simplicity and a modular approach to machine implementation • Uses minimum ambiguity to represent the data and structure • Provides exact sizes used by operands and operators to operate on them

  18. 7 x Pascal Reasons For Decline: • Led to the birth of another event-driven programming language called Delphi, that eventually took over and replace it • Requires source code to reside in ta single file • Bitwise operators are difficult to work with

  19. x Haskell 6

  20. 6 x Haskell • General-purpose • Statically typed • Functional programming language • Designed to handle symbolic computation and list processing applications

  21. 6 x Haskell Features: • Functional programming language • Evaluation engine works only when necessary • Modularity • Statically typed • Easy and cost-effective to maintain

  22. 6 x Haskell Reasons For Decline: • Does not support direct runtime polymorphism • Does not support backward compatible modules • Data structures of Haskell are slower than mutable imperative versions of that data structure

  23. x LISP 5

  24. 5 x LISP • Family of programming languages with long history and a fully parenthesized prefix notation • Functional • Procedural

  25. 5 x LISP Features: • Iterative design methodology • Programs can be updated dynamically • High level debugging • Advanced object-oriented programming • Convenient macro system • Expression based • Complete I/O library • Extensive control structures • Machine independent

  26. 5 x LISP Reasons For Decline: • Management resistance • Nature of the language • Domain specific solution style

  27. x CoffeeScript 4

  28. 4 x CoffeeScript • Multiple-paradigm • Protype-based • Functional • Imperative programming language

  29. 4 x CoffeeScript Features: • Easily understandable • Write less, do more • Reliable • Easily readable and maintainable • Class-based inheritance • No ‘var’ keyword • Avoids problematic symbols • Has extensive library support

  30. 4 x CoffeeScript Reasons For Decline: • JavaScript’s ES6 update took away the value of CoffeeScript • Seen as not powerful enough in comparison to its contemporaries

  31. x Erlang 3

  32. 3 x Erlang • Functional programming language • Has its own runtime environment • Integrated support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance

  33. 3 x Erlang Features: • Can handle many concurrent activities • Easily distributable • Scalable • Easily upgradeable and reconfigurable • Responsive to users within strict timeframes

  34. 3 x Erlang Reasons For Decline: • While still used, not very commonly used by startups • Less accessible to beginners • Steep learning curve • Usually found as legacy code

  35. x Elm 2

  36. 2 x Elm • Domain specific programming language • Purely functional • Advertises no runtime exceptions in practice

  37. 2 x Elm Features: • All values are immutable • Statically typed • Module system • Interoperable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript • Does not support server-side deployment

  38. 2 x Elm Reasons For Decline: • Debugging is messy and difficult to handle • Elm packages cannot be installed from anywhere other than the official package repository

  39. x VB. NET 1

  40. 1 x VB. NET • Multi-paradigm • Object oriented programming language • Implemented in the .NET framework

  41. 1 x VB. NET Features: • Boolean Conditions • Automatic garbage collection • Standard library • Assembly versioning • Properties and events • Delegates and event management • Easy to use generics • Indexers • Conditional compilation • Simple multithreading

  42. 1 x VB. NET Reasons For Decline: • The language is seen to be bulky and clumsy • Work nowadays usually involves maintaining legacy applications or migrating to C# • Capabilities are limited to the Windows platform • Harsh declaration syntax and requirements, a rigid development environment and a lack of libraries
