To complement this question (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13310159), I would like to know what old programming languages you plan to stop using in 2017. Why have you decided to stop using it?

Hopefully will be able to drop ColdFusion and Flash. Have a legacy site using those that I'm working to replace. Too many security concerns with both (surely made worse by the spaghetti mess the code's in), and Flash is very publicly being voted off the island [0]

Perl, I know I said it last year, and the year before that, but this time I mean it...
