Happy 71st! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Respect!!! So an expert of the red hot languages of the seventies Fortran and COBOL

Yes, lots of FORTRAN (several dialects), starting in 1964.
From a "Programming Languages Survey" course, ca 1980:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
...
THIS IS THE SECOND COBOL PROGRAM I HAVE WRITTEN.
I SINCERELY HOPE IT IS THE LAST. So far, my hope has been realised.
Cheers,

You forgot ALGOL! 
|
|
|
|

Pascal is sort of Algol Mark II.
As is Simula - or maybe that is Mark III. At least if you ask someone from University of Oslo.
(I have programmed both Algol 60, Pascal and Simula - but not Algol 68, that is a strange animal! Or at least it seemed so in the 60s)

It was indeed ... as was AlgolW in the 70's

Ok, then how about using a youngling like FORTH?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Happy birthday!
To tell you the truth at first I did not understand and thought it was a mockery of modern job advertisements... in Italy I saw ads for jobs searching for neograduated with 5 years of experience in technology that existed from 3...

Ahaha... I was thinking of the same stuff (since I'm from Italy too).
These are though times in this part of Africa.

Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

Occasionally I peruse the trending GitHub repos, and came across this. Unix centric, though there is mention of C#/.NET, but the whole ASP.NET stack is totally missing. None-the-less, this is probably just 1% of the entire playing field.

This is exactly why I just can see myself doing anything but Windows.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I would say "anything but web development", so I'm confused. Explain?

Surely he meant to say CAN'T, right?
He was saying that he doesn't want to go down the roadmap of web dev, right?

Yeah! But, think, You may say the same thing for the opposite! It's just matter of choices! This doesn't mean someone is clever than someone other.

When you do web dev, are you doing .net stack mainly or non MS stuff? I am mainly working in the .Net stack realm as far as web dev. Most of the stuff listed there, I have never heard of before.

Similar to what I was thinking. I'm familiar with a some of the tech on the roadmap like TypeScript, Angular, PostCSS, Redis, etc but the only thing I use frequently is the ASP.NET stack, AWS, TypeScript, and a DB. I feel like I should go hug the nearest non-ASP.NET dev

Yeah - it would be interesting to put together a chart of the ASP.NET and supporting pieces as a comparison.

Having done some Ruby and Python web stuff, there are a variety of items that I'm familiar with and on the Ruby branch particularly loathe, but on the Python branch, things like Flask are actually quite nice.

I did a class last year where the instructor used flask (PY is the language of choice for cybersec folks for some reason). I've been meaning to look at it some year.
