From my naive, non-lawyer point of view, a computer programming language shouldn't be copyrightable for the same reason fonts aren't -- they are the means to expression, not the expression itself. OTOH, companies have been licensing languag

Not a chance; they would be done about as well as any other kind of test. Anyway, coding is like writing a grammatical sentence--not representative of the logical thinking that, say, a term paper might represent. Hey, there's the thing we r

Wonders of coding (not exactly the same as wonders of programming): 1) Edition 7 UNIX -- it was a wonder for what it did on such tiny-resourced machines. 2) FORTH -- great power in a small space 3) PDP-10 (DECsystem-10) TECO -- text edito
