How many languages can you program in? ;)

1. That is pretty cool. I had forgotten about some of those

older ones. Still it is missing machine-specific and occupation-specific standard languages, but a very good attempt.

How many? Been out of it a few years. I guess PERL and C if I had to.

Take a look at the timeline one.... notice how all the inter-relations stopped just about the time MS gained domination. I wonder if it will ever be fun again.

2. Fortran IV was the first

and last language I mastered. A bit in Basic later on, but FortranIV convinced me that the difference between adjacent keyboard characters was far less important than other issues of the day, and harder to unveil.

(edit to add: a cool chart!)
