All Languages Are Alive

I keep reading about how languages are dead or failed.

My workstation at home running GnuLinux has everything I need to program in:

... and those are just the ones I know about! Plus, it's a pretty ancient distribution. I can't imagine how much more would be available to me if I'd bother to upgrade. Even CeeSharp now.

Nothing keeps me from using any of those to write the software I need. I've written programs in most of them and used programs written in all of them.

In short, it is a great time to be alive and interested in programming languages. Implementations of many languages are easy to acquire and nothing is stopping us from putting any them to work.
