 Here are some #software languages I used to code in that I wouldn't be sad to never touch again:

* PHP
* Java
* VB .NET

To be clear, I'm not saying they shouldn't exist or that you shouldn't use or like them.  More that I've done my time with them and all things being equal, I wouldn't choose these over Python, Go, etc.

Perl barely avoids making this list, but it's very occasionally still useful for me, even though I really don't like to admit it.
