Company hired a new recruiter who complained it was too hard for him to find Perl devs. Announced we were going to transition to java, resulting in all our perl devs exiting and no further work being done. Last I heard they bought a shitty asp.net code base from a random guy and that became the new platform for whatever’s left of the company.

How the hell do you find Perl devs these days? Recruiting at retirement homes?
If you build a project in a dead language you end up having to migrate to something to mass market like Java just so anyone else can work on it.
Shit man, I love Ruby but it would be professional malpractice to start a new project on Rails.
Man, I entered my company two years ago for cobol and basic development. The only way to continue is to spend a lot to train new devs.
