I've worked in Indian IT companies where most of the outsourced projects are legacy system which the contracting company doesn't want its own people to maintain anymore. Its a bad situation to be in. One company I know of had something like 40000 COBOL programmers, who work on projects from big banks. Most projects are maintained only until they are phased out, Projects shutting down and people being moved around is common.

One metric we had to measure top technologies was to see which one were not used in our company.10 years back that was Java, 4-5 years back that was Python. Today that's Go and Scala. Bleeding edge one's never get outsourced out, the projects with older languages were a common place.

A programmer must never attach him/herself to any tool in general. Adapt and move on, such people survive and win in the longer run.
