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

Personally I wouldn't worry about the individual languages, I would pay more attention to the most successful tools. Pay more attention to which applications are most frequently used by the most successfull tools and learn the most popular language used within those. Job opportunities will always be there and you will always have plenty of work.

I personally do not depend on a specific programing language to be successfull, but I keep myself current on what languages and tools are out there. Overall keeping up with trends keeps me employed and abreast. If I do have to make an adjustment to market demands I can.

Long story short...learn them all and continue learning.
