COBOL was not invented by Grace Hopper. She invented Flow-Matic, its precursor and a number of her business partners particpated in the committee that wrote the specifications for COBOL. While no one doubts her important influence, even she did not make this claim. This programming language was developed by a committeee.


A great webpage is [Zirings Dictionary on Programming languages]


These are the language links currently listed in programming language. They need to be refactored and regularized. In particular, those language names that are ambiguous should all either be "Lang programming language" or "Lang language". Somebody pick one and make them all consistent, please.

In the list below, I expected that one, sometines two, links in each line, one language per line, to work. The list should always show the current status of these links.

Personally, I think that "lang programming language" is more precise but "lang language" is just barely good enough. The only entries that presently use "lang language" are C and Ruby, so I am going to do what I can to make them work right and also what I can to make all the ambiguous ones work right with "lang programming language".

The real name of Fortran is FORTRAN, by the way. Fortran is just a redirect to FORTRAN

Is it PL/1 or PL/I (ie: is it a one or an eye)
