    How long ago? ROOT (and other frameworks like GEANT) using C++ has been the standard for over 15 years, but probably longer. I think my advisor was of the last generation that had to write in Fortran.

    the last generation to write FORTRAN

    runs to look out window

    My God is the sun turning into a red giant?!

    Oh no, whew, that's a relief! Guess the FORTRAN programmers will be relevant for a little longer too then.

    (As a .NET dev, I wish some languages (or versions of languages) would die but i really think once code has been written it never goes away!)

    As a Rails engineer with 14 years experience, I can say the place that should be in the 3rd panel is Shopify. They employ so many ruby and rails core committers and directly fund a good many rails gems, and ruby community infrastructure it's insane. They're also directly funding the development of things like the YJIT and speed enhancements to MRI itself.

    Then there's all the other places I know or worked at built on Ruby where my other long tenured ruby friends work.
