When will it go away?

Simple. It will be dead when the last line of Perl goes out of production. I've just found a comment under a Rust video on YouTube that someone is still stuck with Fortran at work.



My sister is retired, but consulted with an old company she used to work for in IT. She found a comment in a header file from the 1980's. Which she wrote.

So yeah, code can hang around.
