      In my entire life I haven't met any boy I found attractive in that way. Chances are minimal that it will happen now. I guess that we are different in this respect: If so should happen, I would certainly not feel ashamed by it. It wouldn't be against my morals. My ideas of what is "natural". A handful of my colleagues / friends have same-sex SOs. I think that is fine. With my opposite-sex SO friends/collagues, I often shake my head: How can they manage to live with that person? - but that is none of my business. Actually, none of my same-dsex SO friends/colleagues provoke the same reactions in me. If it did, I would say the same to myself: That is none of my business. That is one aspect that puzzles me: The Land of Freedom certainly is not one who grants you freedom from your neighbour's codemnation. In principele, you have your freedom, but the price you may have to pay is that your neighbours won't talk to you, you may have problems finding a job, people won't do business with you. That makes your freedom somewhat hollow.

      Unlikely, since it is illegal.

                I don't catch main message of your list. It's the same FUN LIST. Moreover - your list is total cr@p. C# - industrial language, handy for desktop and server development. C - mostly for gaming and embedded worlds. D - perspective language to replace old sh%%t like C. Period. There is no other languages which reward to live.

                      Then you got the joke; that you don't find it funny is another story. I don't find it funny that Delphi is FORGOTTEN.

                          My favorite programming language is English. Or did I miss not only the joke but the message? Actually I'm just a carpenter and I have many hammers. ( except that stupid language Cobol. I saw an article that says it becoming popular again,,,,, sure it is) Actually I laughed at most of the responses posted on this one. When did programmers develop such a great sense of humor?

                              Why ? Also, in some cases, like VB6, it's the user and not the language, or maybe both. No reason to stop unless you know something better to do.

                              In the day VB6 was great for building quick desktop apps, but when .net was released, those developers should have jumped ship and started migrating all that legacy code when there was still a upgrade wizard to 90% move them to .net 1.0 but they didn't, or were not allowed to by their companies; if the latter case they should have left. I saw the writing on the wall in the beta previews, and got busy learning it. Those who are still furiously hanging on to VB6 likely should be mocked, it's 20 years out of date and should never be touched again. It would be like people still developing in FoxDB, VBA, or J++, it's a dead platform. Oddly enough I don't feel the same about COBAL, technically it's still has an active 'platform', and much of our infrastructure is built on it. The same for C, it's going to stay active in the embedded industry for the long term.

                                  I'd argue that C is useful for writing *new* code as opposed to COBOL. For such an old language it has weathered the test of time - something impressive for anything computer based. C was just designed well. Given C++ is more advanced, but if you're coding in C++ the way it was designed to be used the binaries will almost always be much larger than C binaries due to the use of templates/generic programming, meaning C is still the order of the day for small machines and probably will be for the foreseeable future. As such I don't think it's exactly comparable to COBOL. My $0.02

                                    Nah :laugh: Mind you I do know a little of each and respect some others outside the holy trinity (ASM/C/C++) but there are some really rotten tomatoes out there (cough* COBOL cough*), but this goes along the lines of that joke: "...oh we should respect Python programmers in the Linux Kernel community to be more inclusive..."

                                        I'd argue that C is useful for writing *new* code as opposed to COBOL. For such an old language it has weathered the test of time - something impressive for anything computer based. C was just designed well. Given C++ is more advanced, but if you're coding in C++ the way it was designed to be used the binaries will almost always be much larger than C binaries due to the use of templates/generic programming, meaning C is still the order of the day for small machines and probably will be for the foreseeable future. As such I don't think it's exactly comparable to COBOL. My $0.02

                                        No argument. You sure can't beat C in the embedded area, lots of those chips are still 8bit with 1k memory or less. The bigger 32bit RISK chips, sure use C++ if it helps keep you organized. I've found the less abstraction layers to the IO, the closer to real time you get. There have been a few new languages biting at C toes like Rust or D, and they've ventured in to the embedded arena a bit; should be interesting to watch. Just my opinion but C++ has always felt like Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife Giant[^] when all you really needed was Uncle Henry Rancher[^] My only reason to mention COBAL is IBM is still producing those mainframes mostly to keep those systems running. The COVID-19 crisis shows there is still a need for COBAL developers to extend or modify and maintain these legacy systems. Now I wouldn't suggest a newly released CS student take that direction as a career, since eventually they will be phased out sometime in my life time I would guess/hope.

                                          That's easy to say, but the fact that it is still in use today speaks volumes for a language developed in the very early 1970s. A lot of other languages have come and gone since then.
