I've turned this into a list of major programming laguages with years, and see also to Timeline of programming languages. I leave it to others to put in historical prose. ;-) -- sabre23t 03:09, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I removed part of a sentence that talked about Hollerith punched cards being the same size as the dollar bill, because:

Why is there no mention of SNOBOL (esp SNOBOL4)? This was an influential language, and not merely because of a "string-oriented" paradigm. It was much more "high-level" than LISP, more on the level of APL in that regard. VinnieMan ( talk) 02:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
First, I want to congratulate all who made this article so well-written.
Now, shouldn't it also mention shell scripting languages beginning in the (70s?)? It seems that a defining feature of this paradigm is the emphasis on files, in contrast to, say C. - Pgan002 ( talk) 02:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Outstanding job people!!! I saw a lot of that history first hand, and this article does an excellent job of documenting a difficult subject. 20:12, 26 May 2010 (codeslinger) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.229.1.210 ( talk)
Currently, the content of the "Current trends" section reads a lot like a collection of personal opinions and original research, and does not have any citations and sources as attribution for the trends listed.
The listed trends do not seem outright bad or removed from reality, but they should definitely at least be backed up with attributions to sources that claim them. Does anybody know of an appropriate paper, survey, or publication that could be attributed for some of these?

The previous revision included "M6 14:18" in the citation. Any ideas what this meant? I removed it as there was no obvious place in Template:Cite book. Paul2520 ( talk) 18:19, 21 May 2015 (UTC)OJFPOIKJSVOLWSAK,EZ[FDP;LSA,FC;L VC PSKF SACPoakmfd D;ÓKQD0-
At first I thought this was a simple typo, minor correction, but now that I look at it, I'm not so sure what is the best change. The current sentence in the "Early History" section of the article is:
Turing machines set the basis for storage of programs as data is in the von neuman architecture of computers by representing a machine through a finite number.
I suppose it is possible that this is exactly the sentence the author intended, and it is then very suitable. But most likely, I thought they left out a word and intended to write:
Turing machines set the basis for storage of programs as data in the von Neumann architecture of computers by representing a "machine instruction" through a finite number.
Alternatively, the author wants to use a word like "state" or "symbol" then latter being most correct, but then needing more explanation to fit the context and point. How about avoiding this all with an alternate framing of the thought, such as:
Turing machines set the basis for storage of programs as data in the von Neumann architecture of computers by having information stored on a readable tape.
But I'd like to just put that as my suggestion, not feeling like I should just make the edit.

A beginner's person coming in to read the article would be inundated with historical references and technical terms that would mean near gibberish/nonsense to a person new to the history of computers and programming languages. I feel that this issue isn't just with this article in particular but with many Wikipedia articles in general. Is Wikipedia's purpose to allow people to learn or to just pile information in one whole word splurge? 124.168.91.91 ( talk) 14:15, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Is it just for me, or the display of pdf for
Plankalkül is broken (most of the letters is missing) under Firefox 101.0.1 (Win 7 32bit)?
In Edge it displays correctly (well, except screenshots, but those seems to be universally broken [in FF, Edge and Foxit PDF Reader]).

In "First programming languages", Logo is listed as having come out in 1967, while in "Establishing fundamental paradigms", it is listed as having come out in 1968. The Logo page itself says 1967, so one of the dates is wrong here. Gaming gamer 9001 ( talk) 16:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
