Now here is a dead language!
When prediction serves as polemic, it nearly always fails. Our prefrontal lobes can probe the future only when they aren’t leashed by dogma. The worst enemy of agile anticipation is our human propensity for comfy self-delusion. David Brin

No. If you want to talk about a dead language it's Forte' Software, their product Forte' 4GL Tool development environment. Later bought by SUN and then shelved because it competed with J2EE.

What's Cold Fusion?
Not trying to be funny here (No offense to CF developers): I literally have never run into it in 30 years of development. I guess I could Google it - maybe that's why it didn't show up in the poll, though - is it widely used?

Only C# is being enlisted. There are developers in VB.NET. Sometime back in General Discussions forum, there was something about COBOL right? Shouldn't .NET be a broad mention out there instead of C#?

Yeah i agree with you on this one. The languages are not being represented equally. It seems to me that some are not as important as the others. Some of us still use COBOL and VB.NET for that matter...

But the question is about programming languages, not frameworks.

True. But the point is that significant .NET languages are being sidelined?

As far as I can see, VB is included in the poll. Not specifying wether it is the script version (for old ASP and local scripting), version 6.0 or older, or one of the .Net-versions.
