Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - For the I.T. geeks of Warpath: Which programming languages are dead?

I used to be an expert in BASIC, QBASIC, also used Visual BASIC and Pascal fairly proficiently and dabbled in Fortran, COBOL and C+. I wrote some really useful BASIC programs and made games with some impressive (at that time) graphics. Made a field goal kicking game with graphics better than the original Madden, as well as a golf game.

That was a long, LONG time ago, back in the DOS days. Bet they're all dead now.

I'm guessing Java and HTML are the "hot" ones now. I'm not into programming really anymore. Also, could open source systems like Linux and all of its children be considered programming?
