Top 10 Dying Programming Languages in 2022

Top 10 dying programming languages in 2022. Choice of programming language is a very important decision for any developer when it comes to programming languages there is always a lot of debate going around it. Hi guys this is Dinesh from bloggingtamilzhan and welcome to this blog post on the top 10 dying programming languages. So you can translate this blog into Tamil using google translator. So let’s dive into the content.

10. Perl :

let’s get started on the 10th position we have Perl which stands for practical extraction reporting language. Perl is a high-level language used for general-purpose programming the reason why it has become less popular recently include its complex syntax high CPU requirements large requirement with memory and poor structuring in arguments, if you have been using poil in the past you may move to alternatives such as PHP, python, java or javascript.

9. Scala :

The next dying programming language is scala abbreviated from scalable language. Scala uses an expressive typing system that ensures statistical abstraction that is secure and consistent. So if it is secure and consistent why is it having declining popularity first off it is hard to understand its syntax is oddly different from other languages secondly it runs on JVM. So it has no tail recursive optimization and more importantly, it has a poor developer pool making it have weak community alternatives of scala are kotlin, python, java, and go.

8. Objective C :

On the 8th position of our list, we have objective c. Objective c is a simple programming language designed to enable sophisticated object-oriented programming objective c is a strict superset of c meaning that any code that has been written in c can be used in objective c programs without being rewritten however it adds some features of its own that cannot be used in a traditional c program. (Tamil) So objective c lost its popularity with the advent of swift which is not preferred for ios development moreover it lacks namespacing unlike c it contains explicit pointers alternatives to objective care of course swift c sharp, c++ and kotlin

7. COBOL :

Another dying programming language is COBOL. Cobol is a compiled English-like programming language designed for. business use it is primarily used in business finance and administrative systems for companies and governments the reasons for its decline are difficulty in usage strong typing rules and difficulty in passing what you can use instead of COBOL are python, java, c cobalt, and javascript.

6. Pascal :

Next up we have once-popular Pascal. Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language that was originally designed as a tool to assist the teaching of programming as a systematic learning path its pitfalls include lack of support issues in control flow and evaluation issues it has been primarily replaced by Delphi. So that’s an alternative you may use and also other languages such as c sharp, dart, and Lua can be used as an alternative.

5. Haskell

Haskell is named after Haskell brooks curry us mathematician who contributed a lot to logic Haskell is based on lambda calculus and uses the Greek letter lambda as its logo the top reasons for its downfall are its complicated interface non-suitability for critical applications higher learning curve hence the lack of widespread implementation popular alternatives to it are java, Python, Ruby, and PHP.

4. CoffeeScript :

Next up we have another dying language CoffeeScript. Coffeescript compiles to javascript with syntax inspired by ruby python and Pascal talking about its cons it lacks explicit scoping. So we cannot specify which variables to make unavailable it lacks name functions and it’s difficult to resolve exceptions the alternatives to CoffeeScript that you may use are javascript, typescript, babel, python or react.

3. Erlang :

On the third position, we have erlang. Erlang is a general-purpose functional programming language with a garbage-collected runtime system very few programmers use it hence it lacks a strong community moreover the jobs in demand do not require erlang as a skill. It is also hard to set up and deploy along with complicated debugging popular alternatives to erlang are elixir, Go, Clojure, and python.

2. ELM :

On the second position, we have elm is a functional domain-specific language developed for creating web browser-based GUI with better usability the reasons for its decline include lack of updates lack of momentum the fact that its usage is purely academic, and because it’s complex with external javascript libraries alternatives that you may use are typescript, react, javascript, python and rust.

And finally, the programming language which is dying is none other than vb.net. vb.net is a multi-paradigm object-oriented programming language implemented on.net mono and net framework with no code design system as a programming language it lacks many important features such as the inability to handle pointers being a Microsoft product it is not easily transferable to other operating systems and also it’s very slow in processing alternatives that you may use to vb.net are joso, python, javascript and c sharp.

I hope you enjoyed the session thank you for reading this blog if you have any doubts please leave a message in the comment section happy learning.
