The same is true of COBOL and Fortran. But also for most purposes, they are practically* dead.

* With the one exception of BLAS which is widely used via NumPy

The JS death and AI bubble are two events I keep hearing about but will never come.

It’s also relevant that LLMs have so much JavaScript training data that I don’t see a world where we’re not still using JavaScript.

> It's like PHP, it will never die.

I predict that PHP will live a long life, but not as long as C, and I predict JavaScript will have a lifespan closer to C's than PHP's.

"Death" is hard to define for a programming language. It's tempting to say "the last time anyone writes it", or maybe "runs it", but to put that in biological terms that seems like defining "death" for a person as "the last chemical bond that was part of their body is broken"... sure, it'll happen someday, but all the properties we associate with the term "death" happen rather soon than that.
