The Ages of Programming Language Creators
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoI think with llvm, the ability exists for much less experienced folks to create languages. We now have a ton of “not-major” languages. It seems that we get at least five, mentioned here, every week.
- neutrinobro 2y agoCan you really call JSON a programming language? Or for that matter...XML?
- mtlynch 2y agoI'm confused by the criteria for what's included and what's not. Not included: Zig, Elm, Odin, Hare Included: GCC (not a language), Jekyll (not a language), Bel (not even sure there's a complete implementation, definitely not widely used)
- ofrzeta 2y agoAgain? What's the purpose of spam posting this again and again? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40412135 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40412135, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40409129 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40409129) XML, JSON, JQuery and Emacs aren't programming languages. What's the difference of Perl 6 and Raku in terms of their creator (who arguably ain't Larry Wall). Scala.js is not a programming language either and afaik not created by Martin Odersky. If someone wants to plug this as a valuable data source on programming language they should probably clean up a bit.
