In this riveting exposé, Simplilearn delves into the demise of ten outdated programming languages in 2025. From the ancient Cobol to the once-revered Pascal and Pearl, these languages are facing extinction in the fast-paced world of technology. The team sheds light on the reasons behind their decline, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead in the ever-evolving programming landscape. They steer aspiring coders towards more relevant options like Java and Python, steering clear of the sinking ships of yesteryears.
The rise and fall of languages like Objective C, Fortran, and Ruby are dissected with surgical precision. While Objective C once ruled the roost in Apple's app development realm, the crown now rests firmly on Swift's head. Similarly, Fortran's stronghold in scientific projects is crumbling before the might of Python and Julia. As for Ruby, its glory days in web development are fading as JavaScript and Python take center stage, leaving startups to bid adieu to Ruby on Rails in favor of more contemporary tools like React and Next.js.
Visual Basic, Lisp, and Delphi find themselves on the chopping block, overshadowed by the likes of C, Java, and modern web-based applications. The dwindling relevance of these languages serves as a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of the tech industry. Lastly, the demise of ActionScript, once the backbone of Flash-based content, signals a changing of the guard in the realm of game development. With Adobe Flash's demise, aspiring developers are urged to set sail towards JavaScript, Unity, or Unreal Engine for a shot at success in the competitive world of game design.
