    Infoworld[^]:

    A recent survey found that while developers are into newer languages like Swift, Rust, and Scala, businesses prefer the stalwarts -- and Python can bridge the gap between the two

    If you know where it's broke...

    You mean, companies don't jump to newer languages like F# to rewrite their stuff? Irony! OK, not Irony, but I needed to tie it to the brand of previous threads.

      Businesses stick with Windows XP, IE8 or even older, XML, COBOL... No wonder though, every change, no matter how small, must be presented in threefold and pass five layers of management. Meanwhile management is playing golf :D They've given such companies a name too... The enterprise! *dramatic music for effect* (not to be confused with the spaceship from Star Wars, Gandalf will not have it) :D

        hahahaha. Speak of the devil. My C# code is being re-written by the newbies in F# because what I wrote isn't "beginner-friendly" enough. Marc

          When it comes to the practicality of hiring engineers and maintaining code, you have four choices: C, C++, C# and Java. Anything else WILL cost you more money and you'll likely end up porting it.
