#3Wow it's much older than I thought. As it says in the post, if you want to a view the online doc's just fire up Mosaic. Then compile it on your IRIX box. Those were the days.

Most languages are. Javascript, Ruby, Java, PHP, ColdFusion - all mid-90s languages.

Hundreds!

Arguably, that would be Java, which was introduced in 1995. For whatever hey are worth, most language popularity indexes (TIOBE, LangPop) place Java above Python with quite a large margin.
Java may not get much exposure here or in startups, but if you go out in the real world of 'boring' business applications, Java is pretty much the defacto language (together with C#).

#9Interesting to read his description of the language, which sounds pretty much exactly like python is now. It’s a pretty good testament to why python gained and retained popularity. Though not without fault, python is certainly one of the best-designed languages ever created, in my opinion.
