The History of Computer Languages

For the geeks – sorry, I mean aficionados of computing history – amongst us, here’s a web site devoted to the history of computer languages, complete with a family tree. There’s about 50 languages listed here, but if you’re a real anorak, then follow the link to Bill Kinnersley’s page – he has 2,500 listed. In the course of the years, I’ve had a working knowledge of about 15 along the way, but now I’m rusty in practically all of them.
