Technology Survivors Even After 25 to 50 Years


Bangalore: We are living in an age which is bleeding technology, where radical transformation has swept the tech world more often than excitement over a new iPhone. But some fundamental technologies still continue to thrive and prove their stance till date. Developers have been adamant about their love for these old coding techniques, tech languages, and users continue to juice the best out of it even after 25 to 50 years of its invention.

We decline to terminate C language, which has better replacement of C++ or C#. Senior citizens like COBOL, PASCAL have continued to give the much needed coding tips and techniques to the new upcoming generation.

So below is a rundown of languages, technologies, data systems that refuse to get outdated and will neither die sometime soon.

COBOL -Common Business Oriented Language

What it is: A Programming Language

Year of Release: 1960

With more than 50 years under its belt, COBOL- one of the oldest programming language has remained dominant for business applications and promises to be the leader for next 50 years. COBOL has become the standard for financial and other enterprise software systems. Many governments, financial, industrial, and corporate systems are still powered by COBOL which still finds itself in use in legacy systems.
