Well, they could layoff 100% and world would be a better place to live.

It really sucks for software engineers though - first these companies made a hype out of "coding" and hacking to build those monstrosities, now they switched to squeezing the accordion to keep the music going. This is not the first time and I hope not the last one - just need new Yahoos of 20s to pop up.

I'm up for building this. What dinosaur languages should we code this in? erlang, tcl and perl?

You may need to sit down for this, but when Yahoo launched, TCL was 6 years old, Perl was 7, and Erlang was 8. Today, Go is 14, Swift is 12, and Rust is 11.

You could work in Erlang, PHP, and C++ at Meta ;)

I'm still partial to Tcl from years in EDA - sign me up..

Just use lisp.

Haskell!

Now that I think about it, the Haskell Report did come out in '98...
