If I could like your comment like a million times trust me I will.

In addition, thank you for this statement:

There's a new industry-wide trend of calling technologies that are used for the most successful, new, bleeding-edge software "legacy".

If I could I'll make a poster out of it and show it to every beginner programmer that gets discouraged by reading "advice" on the internet that a programming language is not worth learning because it is "legacy".

I might as well add that if they want to work on a project it's best to do research on the domain-specific language, rather than asking on the internet something like "I want to develop a desktop application what language should I learn?". There is a high probability they will get responses suggesting the "new" and "trendy" technology.
