@Aqsaqal celebrating his latest PragProg release -
Seven Obscure Languages in Seven Weeks

Let seven older, obscure languages open your eyes to new ways of thinking about programming, and change the way you code today.

#Forth #Occam #APL #Simula #SNOBOL #Starset #m4 #7in7

@ovid #Fortran #COBOL #PL1 #APL #Snobol #algol60 #lisp #basic #jovial #pascal #python #java #c #cpp #plsql #perl #forth #ada #tcl

I worked with #prolog and could do maintenance on the code, but couldn’t really create from scratch.

I started in the 70’s, IBM 1620 assembler.

@pragprog I couldn’t resist this. The initial chapters (I consumed #Forth and #APL last night) are very readable and I’m looking forward to #SNOBOL.

I see that #PostScript will get an honourable mention in the final chapter as a teaser for a sequel 😀. I have a particular fondness for PostScript as writing an interpreter was my final year project at Poly.

@spot And you know what's the most crazy part of it? It is not some kind of deluvial legacy script. Somebody started a development of new program in #SNOBOL on 25th July 2022!!!

@kragen @mdhughes

Oh, man, I wasn't expecting #SNOBOL to come up today. My parents programmed it back in the 70s before they left the programming field and got what they thought of as "real" jobs!
