5 Programming languages that are on the verge of extinction
Programming languages are important for development. For developers, it is crucial to keep themselves updated with the most recent and less-complexed programming languages and for that, they have to let go of some languages.
There is hardly any programming language that might get obsolete because there are experts around the globe who research and write programming languages. Their main goal is to persuade you that the language they have developed is superior to every other language now in use.
But despite their efforts, there are some programming languages that you might not use in the coming five years or so.
After detailed research by TechGig and taking notes from experts, we have compiled a list of programming languages that programmers might not use in the coming years. Do have a look.

Learning or mastering Objective-C involves a variety of skills like syntax, knowledge of the runtime environment, and how the compiler works which is a little complicated therefore making it to the list of programming languages that you might not use in the coming years.
When it got launched, CoffeeScript gain attention around the globe and became famous in no time but now it is struggling to keep pace.
It is a language that compiles to JavaScript and adds syntactic sugar to improve the readability and brevity of JavaScript.
Perl got introduced in 1987. It has acquired a huge place in the IT industry but after the creation of several other programming languages, Perl faded away and only a handful of programmers are using this.
Interestingly, Perl has been mostly stuck in the 19th position in the TIOBE’s chart for the past two years.
You won't be using this programming language in the next couple of years. In fact, the majority of programmers have already stopped using this. It got launched in 2002 by Microsoft. When it got launched, this language became the favourite of every programmer but then lost its appeal when C# came into the picture.
Despite having its fan base and being chosen by several major tech organisations, like Facebook, GitHub, IBM, and others, this programming language has not emerged as a leader.
There are several other programming languages that developers won't be using in the next couple of years but the above-mentioned list is the one that the majority of programmers are left using.
This is not the end, in every couple of years there will be some or other programming languages that have to face a similar fate when equally competent programming languages, with better features, are released into the market.
