I wonder what Erlang/Elixir would be, some kind of nano-bot hive mind?

Malbolge would be a bioweapon and you're patient zero

Definitely ancient since C# has been cross-platform for 4 years with Dotnet Core. If you include Mono, make that 19 years.

Hey now! PHP may be old and a bit clunky, but it gets shit done. I'd say PHP is the Colt repeating rifle, since PHP won the internet and the Colt won the West. Much like the Colt, there are better tools available today, but if you want stuff done reliably and quickly, PHP and the Colt are good choices.

I learned perl to make IRC bots and to customize bulletin boards in the late 90s, early aughts.

I owe a lot to that language as it impressed a woman with my skills in it. I got my first marriage and eldest son out of it.

Funny. I learnt perl to make an IRC bot. I didn't even get a tee shirt, let alone a wife and son

ADA is an F-22 Raptor. Effective and functional, but you can't have one.
