I forgot which languages we already 'sold' :-)
In upcoming age, and stuff I liked....
- Fortran
Did you know that the common used for-loop variables i,j,k are coming
from the language Fortran?
If you needed an 'integer' they were already available, and _only_
those.
That's why we always use i,j,k :-)
- Cobol
Opencobol, and some nice/strange 'Perform' magic keyword that does it
all! (For, while, if, etc)
- Lisp
Dynamic only. Autocad is programmed in it!? And of course used in
Emacs.
And the base of ML, Scheme.
- Pascal
Unit introduction. (Design by interface?) Famous Turbo Pascal popularity
with DOS of course.
- Postscript
Reverse polish notation. ( 2 3 mul and /x 4 def, etc)
ps2ps :) ps2ascii ps2pdf
- Smalltalk
Everything is an object. Object is everything.
- Ada
[Not treated (sold) yet :-]
- Rexx
Invented by IBM for the mainframes
- Tcl/TK
[Not treated (sold) yet :-]
And of course we are implementing in every language a heapsort algorithm
and
will benchmark it against each other :)
[Languages coming up: Perl, Haskell, Eiffel, PHP, VRML, Ruby, Javascript,
C#, Erlang, D]
