Regardless of the culture producing it, or it’s relative importance to the company, is Windows really that much of a mess? It's certainly no Windows ME

I never noticed that. Brilliant.
I was reminded too late that I should have used 8 or Vista there. But then I forgot they existed.

Recently I looked closely at what it really means when a certain programming language, tool, or trend is declared to be ‘dead’. "'E's resting!"
Because sometimes I just have to post something to see y'all mock the author. Or at least the title (I mean, who has time to read stuff?)
If I were to pick a list of three languages *least* dead, it would be these three.

I keep having to dust off "friend", "girlfriend", and "wife" languages, as the previous version of "wife" language threw a relationship integrity exception.

JavaScript is one of the most popular languages out today, who the hell thinks it's dead?
Java has been the most popular language on ranking sites for decades, why would it be dead?
In fact, the article states "it’s simply bizarre to suggest that Java is ‘dead’ or ‘dying’: it’s de facto the most widely used programming language on the planet" 
Same for C.
Perhaps the author does some wishful thinking and the title should be "3 programming languages that should've been dead, but definitely aren't"

I was going to say... did we just not have an article posted saying it was the #1 language now (something about we're doomed too).

Very popular in the 'nix community, but not a language that I seen many job ads for.
C is still the basis, so a bit nonsense to have it on the list, unless you target a non-tech audience who might actually be surprised.
VB6 should have made the list; still in use, even after Microsoft declared it dead years ago.

They're bigger risk takers and aren't as security-conscious as their older colleagues. Don't trust anyone *under* 30!

Not really agree... I know younger people that are even more security paranoid as me.
Privacy... is another thing.

Docker this, container that, and Kubernetes it all. Welcome to IT in the twenty-teens, but will it continue to be "all containers, all the time?" Some developers are turning to other approaches. "Put it in the box, put it in the box. Frank's in there and I don't care."

When I ask why Docker is such a good idea, the most common response is that it "mmakes deployment easier".
My response to that is to learn how to properely deploy your freakin code.
