Nice.
I got to around 1K. You probably have them all, but there could be some in there. Your list is much more useful so I linked to it.
A list of computer languages with release year and category

#22Anyone willing to work on Abacus please send me a papyrus. :D https://codelani.com/languages/abacus-machine.html
Amazingly, it's still in the top half of programming languages! Which just goes to show how meaningless top N% is when you have a list of so many languages.

#24To this day, I still miss the ability to list, move up and edit code at the same time using C= 64 terminal. Good days.

#25Some of these have confusing type fields. Like asterius-compiler which is a "compiler", but apparently not a programming language? It seems pretty loose at what constitutes a "computer language", with numeralSystems, cloud, non-programmable text editors, and mathematical notation among other strange entries.
It feels like there needs to be some kind of cutoff on what we're calling a language here. Maybe if it is Turing Complete? I mean JPEG might be considered a language in some ways, in that it encodes data and the computer has to parse it, but I wouldn't normally classify it as a language.

#26Please make this list sortable by the columns. Thank you.

#27Re: A list of computer languages with release year and category
#28Interesting idea but as others have already pointed out, it has a lot more than just programming languages in it. I understand that the description explicitly points it out but advertising it as a list of "computer languages"/"programming languages" is just plain wrong and misleading.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Or jobs?
I don't know, but looking at ADA, 20 jobs seems very low. I was under the impression that ADA is still a required language for a lot of military hardware. My guess would be that he's scraping jobs sites for listings numbers, and I suspect something like ADA development is using different channels to find devs.
Prolog has 402 claimed jobs: https://codelani.com/languages/prolog.html but looking at any Prolog implementation lists 0. I cannot imagine that there are this many (available?) Prolog jobs in the world, nor that no advertised job would specify the implementation the company uses. I think the numbers are generated using some sort of garbage in, garbage out system.

#30> Steel Bank Common Lisp, aka Steel Bank Common Lisp, is a historical programming language
I'd call it a compiler, not a language, and I've never heard it called "historical". What makes a language "historical"?
> ABCL%2Fc%2B is a historical programming language created in 1988.
Got some escaping issues here.
> Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, aka Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, is an actively used programming language created in 1964. BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.
Lots of redundancy redundancy here, redundantly.

I'm having a little trouble finding what this is, but it's not part of (modern) Objective-C, and this hello-world doesn't compile with Clang. It seems to be a class library that shipped with one (non-NeXT/Apple) Objective-C compiler. I don't think I've ever seen the do:{:each |...} syntax in Objective-C, either.
