A BITOG member on another thread shared his Wife has been programming a MUMPS (spelling?) operating system, working from their home, for decades. He further mentioned that his Wife gets half dozen inquires a week on LINKIN to jump ship and work for the inquiring organization.
Made me wonder, what "rare" computer languages from the last century are still being used, and have limited computer programmers that know that language? The only computer language I know from the last century was PICK, written by **** Pick. PICKs OS claim to fame (last century) was that it had no RAM memory constraints- it used the hard drive in some manner. I suspect that is no big deal today, but 50 years go that was a real big deal.
Do you know of any old rare programming language from the last century that is still in use today and is not being migrated to the latest programming language?
* Disclosure- I know little about computer operating systems, and likely much less than little. Just thought the subject was fascinating.
