I exaggerate a bit. C99 lets you declare variables anywhere inside the block, not just the top.
Which still got me into an argument with a coworker who wanted me to declare every variable at the top of the block “in case” we port the code to a compiler that doesn’t support it.
C99 was 20 years old at that point.
Newer versions of C have generics “support” but I haven’t seen it in the wild yet.
… I’m working on learning Django to get a job… should I stop? What should I use instead?
My webserver I’ve had for a while supports basically that.
I’m the wrong person to ask. My goto language is older than I am and hasn’t had a meaningful change since I was born.
cobol? fortran? c? assembly? so many options
C.

I wonder what the last programming language will be…
COBOL.
probably
Fortran has a 2018 release. Assembly is tied to the cpu, so I assume it changes every iteration.
I just consider it’s origin to be ancient…
That’s irrelevant is it’s updated frequently.
Not completely, there are some designs choices that are to stay in old languages but would not exist in younger ones
As the other comment said, Django isn’t going anywhere. I’d not start a new project in it, but it’ll be with us for a long time.
For a more modern (and better) python stack, but which is also definitely here to stay, I’d look at FastAPI with sqlalchemy.
Well, I’m working on django-ninja , and that is vaugely related to fastapi, so I’ve got that going for me I guess. Thanks for the heads up
