Top 4 Dying Programming Languages of 2019 | by Clever Programmer - Summary

Summary

The video discusses the top four dying programming languages in 2019-2020, based on data from the PYPL index and Google Trends. The host, Qazi, argues that the TIOBE index is misleading and should not be used to determine the popularity of programming languages. The top four dying programming languages are:

1. Visual Basic: Once heavily used, it has seen a significant decline in popularity since 2004.
2. Perl: It was popular around 2004 but has since experienced a sharp decline, with its usage now considered to be dying.
3. Objective-C: Although still used, it has been on a downward trend since 2004 and is no longer as popular as it once was.
4. Ruby: Its popularity has been declining since 2006, and it is no longer considered a growing language.

Qazi emphasizes the importance of choosing the right programming language, as it can influence one's career and future behavior. He encourages viewers to be aware of the metrics and trends in the programming world to make informed decisions about their career paths.
