Name a language that has gone. We've got code here written in Algol68R. We're still using the application but even we don't have a compiler (and the R variant originated in Malvern). I learnt functional programming in Hope, but have never seen it in a job advert. Similarly, I learned how to do distributed programming in Conic and haven't seen it since. They're never truly gone I suppose because the ideas get recycled but branches do drop off the evolutionary tree sometimes.
