    You need to visit Q&A and the forums more often I've seen a number of VB6 questions in the last week or two.

      LOGO? ALGOL58? and I doubt anyone is using PASCAL any more.

        Um. You might be wrong: Google "Pascal .NET"[^] And there is still Delphi out there.

        The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

                Like any other living/non-living thing, language also follows bell-curve. It doesn't die, but get way too obsolete to bother about. Its the interest level of developer community that keeps the language/platform alive. And legacy application of course: VFP for example. In general, Developer community is like that child who wants/gets a new toy every now and then. Some lasts longer, some for very short span.

                    exactly, that's the point. It gets obsolete to the level that it looses focus of majority community and we call it dead....but its alive sometimes at it's own sometimes with pace-maker !

                                      I can't even read my old Pascal files from college, but... I do have Pascal compilers for my OpenVMS systems. :cool: (And COBOL and Fortran and BASIC... I don't remember the complete list, I only use the C compiler occasionally.)
