1.x is dead

What does that even mean? It's very much alive and 1.4 is going to be released this year.

That's like the people who called Perl 5 dead because Perl 6 was announced back in 2000.

Dead over the long term, as it has lost momentum.

Perl 5 is dead in the same way. What programming language would you recommend to someone looking to learn programming?

In 2000, you could make a strong case for Perl.

In 2015, there are a half dozen languages ahead in line.

Anyone new picking up Perl is likely doing it just for a project. Same with angular.
