    From the newsletter: [5 dead programming languages we should never forget](https://searchapparchitecture.techtarget.com/tip/5-dead-programming-languages-we-should-never-forget) Erlang - maybe not mainstream or popular anymore, but the basis of RabbitMQ. Perl - Also still being used. Objective-C - Also still being used. I think sometimes people just write articles for the sake of it and have very little idea of what's actually being used in industry, especially when it comes to the popularity of programming languages.

          I have not used Perl since 2012. I could never kill off old lady Perl. Fond memories of her and I. Did I ever tell you the story when she and I once... :-O

            In that case, .NET languages are the only living programming languages for me. Every other languages other than .NET ones are dead.

                    I'm sort of there myself. I can't run .NET on most of the hardware I target these days.

                      It's hard to install the runtime on 128 kB flash, and it doesn't run smoothly on 6 kB of RAM :D

                        I have never seen a job advert for the work you do, ever. Not to say there isn't a market for it, but I think your work is a very specialized and isolated market. .net (.net stack) is super huge in the market where I am at. C# is bigger than any other language right now, next to Java. perhaps its just location too. like real estate - location, location, location.

                          So far I'm seeing a ratio of 2:1 for embedded vs Java/.NET job offers, it may be due to location (northern Italy has a lot of industrial, aerospace and automotive companies) and search bubble but I remember it being this way since 2010 at least. If I had better electronics aptitude I would make a killing.

                              Can you imagine a garbage collector working with 6kB of RAM? haha
