Comment on A brief, incomplete and mostly wrong history of programming languages

Comments

Each one of those was quite amusing.

1958 - John McCarthy and Paul Graham invent LISP.

1983 - Bjarne Stroustrup bolts everything he's ever heard of onto C to create C++. The resulting language is so complex that programs must be sent to the future to be compiled by the Skynet artificial intelligence.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this article.

As did I. I laughed out loud at most all of them.
