This sent me into a wonderful rabbit hole. I haven't been on that site for years and had never read their pages on programming languages before. I love how they manage to write so much nonsense. Even ChatGPT can't beat the amount of nonsense they're writing

Holy shit, that's still around?

The page for my city is the same as the last time I saw it about a decade ago, and it really hasn't aged well...
