    I work primarily in a Long Tail language (languages don’t die, but they have a long tail where usage slowly creeps away). I tell the business that we could ultimately solve all the problems with the platform except for one: finding new programmers to hire for it. That’s what will ultimately force us to migrate. Doesn’t have anything to do with cost or ability to take on new features or handle new ways of doing things.

        I feel this way about mainframes sometimes too, I had a class in mainframes but we weren’t really taught about job options or where they still fit in the industry.
