Jansen explained that this is why \u201cnew and promising languages\u201d aren\u2019t seeing a similar uptrend to older ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/critical-national-infrastructure-email-security\/\"><strong>80% of Critical Infrastructure Companies Experienced an Email Security Breach in 2024<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that the last of the core developers of these systems are about to retire, companies avoid any risk and choose to keep the existing systems and even extend them rather than replacing them by newer systems based on more modern languages,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being referred to as \u201cdinosaurs,\u201d these legacy languages have not remained static. To stay relevant, many have received significant updates in recent years. New language definitions have been published for Fortran, Delphi, Ada, and COBOL in just the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe might frown to see these languages being in the TIOBE index top 20, but they definitely serve a purpose and deserve credit,\u201d Jansen said.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Python_remains_the_most_talked-about_programming_language\"><\/span>Python remains the most talked-about programming language<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yet again, Python is the number one language on the TIOBE Index, meaning it receives the most attention in search engine queries, job postings, and educational resources. Its popularity and usage have been rising steadily since 2017, but really boomed from June 2024 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>This trend is believed to be closely tied to the growing availability and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. As more companies hire early-career programmers for AI-related roles, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/nvidia-gtc-2024-jensen-huang-qa\/\">prompt engineering<\/a>, Python \u2014 known for its simplicity and intuitiveness \u2014 has become their language of choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why Python is here to stay,\u201d Jansen wrote last month.<\/p>\n<p>While newer languages continue to emerge, it is clear that legacy languages still play a crucial role in modern computing. Their adaptability and deep-rooted presence in critical systems suggest that these so-called \u2018dinosaurs\u2019 are far from extinct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Envato\/TonyTheTigersSon Legacy programming languages, once thought to be relics of the past, are having a surprising comeback.
