Software Archeology

A colleague and friend of mine in a previous job often said his favourite job title was "Software Archeologist". He has the curious accolade of having possibly the only online video recorder museum. I have long been impressed that not only does he maintain this site, but actually has all the exhibits stored at home. But I digress.

For those who, like me, have an interest in the business of software - and in particular, programming languages - might like to visit the Encyclopedia of Computer Languages (subtitled "HOPL: an interactive Roster of Programming Languages").

Memo to me: must get to grips with Ruby.

Ruby is nice, but don't believe all the hype (especially all the hype those RoR people put about, self-aggrandisement of the highest order.)
