The latest update to the TIOBE Index reveals notable shifts in the world of software development.

Legacy languages like C, COBOL, Fortran, and Assembly still have their place, but they no longer take center stage.

    I mean it’s not hard so much as very dated and a bit shit.

    I could use raw pointers in c# if I wanted to. But it’s just not a great way to do things.

    C will likely have a place where low languages are required for a long time. But everywhere else there’s little reason to choose over more modern languages.
