In his book titled "Quick C", Al Stevens gives us a quick rundown
|
|||
|
|
on the origin, purpose and usefulness of so many programming
|
|||
|
|
languages.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
COBOL was designed so that managers could read code.
|
|||
|
|
BASIC was designed for people who are not programmers.
|
|||
|
|
FORTRAN is for scientists.
|
|||
|
|
ADA comes from a committee - a government committee no less.
|
|||
|
|
PILOT is for teachers.
|
|||
|
|
PASCAL is for students.
|
|||
|
|
LOGO is for children
|
|||
|
|
APL is for martians.
|
|||
|
|
FORTH, LISP and PROLOG are specialty languages.
|
|||
|
|
C, however, is for programmers.
