History of programming Lanugages
I stumbled on this site Computer Languages History recently.. Very cool… Often the current generation of developers assumes that their programming language of choice came up with every interesting feature… It is great to see the long heritage of Lisp and it’s GC technology from 1958 and SmallTalk and its extensible framework from 1969… There are really no new ideas in programming languages, it is just about how you stitch the ideas together that makes the magic.

Very interesting. Smalltalk seems to be very advanced if you look at it from the architectural stand point. Fascinating stuff. - Anonymous

Pretty hard not to be impressed by all of those arrows surging forward. We appear to be heading somewhere...
