ICQ has been obsoleted.

What do you mean by obsoleted?
I still have it installed on one of my Android phone.

One more thing...
If depleting popularity implies  obsolescence,
Basic would definitely be obsoleted for decades.

Wait, wait, VB is another beast.

ICQ -> MSN -> Skype.

Thanks for reminding me Basic is classic, Mike!

Let's ignore Visual Basic for DOS, which have definitely been obsoleted for decades.
Just the screen I/O and event-driven programming found in Visual Basic would separate
it from classic Basic light years away.

Delphi and Pascal are two different beasts because of similar criteria.

On the other hand, ICQ is still around, which you could download from Google Play.
I admit that it's hard to find someone to use ICQ as his/her daily IM, but I do believe
popularity would and should not be the only criteria to judge it's obseleted.

At least to me, ICQ is classic.  Moreover it's still around.  That's why I concluded
that it's not obsoleted.

If ICQ has been replaced by MSN and MSN has been replaced by Skype, and ICQ is obsoleted.
In a similar way, Basic has been replaced by Visual Basic, and Visual Basic has been replaced
by Visual Basic.Net, C#, what would you say about the classic Basic.  Obsoleted?

One more thing...
You might consider Visual Basic.Net the direct successor of Visual Basic, so Visual Basic has
saved itself from obsolescence.  But can you grab a piece of Visaul Basic 6.0 and compile with
a Visual Basic.Net without rewriting?  Probably not.

PS: If Basic is in the list, then COBOL should be added to the list 'coz it's still using in commercial
arena as of today.

另外, 經典編程語言而又影響深遠,
除咗Basic, Cobol, Pascal,
好似Smalltalk可以話講OO,
唔提下佢點得.

PS:只不過二千年後, 好似CU既學府,
已經由Smalltalk轉教Java啫.
好不幸地, 又要被評定為obsoleted.

You have a good argument.

Here is my personal view, it may be subjective.
I see a difference between a language (like Basic, Fortran, Cobol, or even Algol)
as compared to an application (like ICQ, MSN, Skype).
The success of a programming language sets the stages of evolution in computation paradigms,
e.g. Assembly Language -> Fortran, Basic -> Algol, Pascal, C -> C++, Java, Objective-C (successor of Small Talk)
In the early days, Fortran was used mainly for scientific computation,
and Basic was the language for the amateurs. It helped to make Computer to gain popularity.

The survival of an application relies on its popularity, it may or may not be related to technology.
It is a matter of business decision and investment.
From the technolgical point of view, Microsoft can definitely create some "Skype-like" system.
Similarly, the Israeli company may invest more to upgrade ICQ to make it more competitive.

Totally agree!
When we are talking about business, there is no doubt that popularity can definitely put a product/service
to its death.

My point is: ICQ is around and struggles to live, and thus it shouldn't be considered as obsoleted.

PS: From both technlogical or commercial point of view, Microsoft would defintely buy some
"Skype-like" systems.

The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Kunth is a legend.
But it was written in the pre-OO era (even though Vol. 4 of this book was published in 2011).
Vol. 5 and 6 were planned, but I don't think Kunth would be able to complete these two volumes.

TAOCP was so famous that I don't think anyone (except Kunth) would be qualified to add to it another volume on OOP.
