Yes. 30 years ago I was working in Pascal and Assembler. I haven't seen either in a long, long time. > Remember there are still C and COBOL jobs available and those languages are > really really old. I still write in C. I assiduously assert that I HAVE NEVER, EVER, USED COBOL (NO, NEVER. Really, you can trust me, can't you? (please?)) Ruby has surged in popularity with Rails, and spawned some even newer, more exciting things. Java is still top dawg in the web application arena. But I think JavaScript is where things will emerge, especially if CoffeeScript starts to really get first-class treatment instead of being a filter. JavaScript frameworks, Node.js and meteor are becoming awesome things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
