Some 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 Turi…

True that. AWS is on the list as well which is quite odd.

For those complaining that they need it sorted by date: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelani/codelani/master/langs.csv \ | awk -F "," '{print $NF, $0}' \ | sort -n \ | sed "s/^[^ ]* //" \ | less This will fetch the CSV, copy the date to the front, sort it, then remove the date. There are a lot of entries that don't have dates. If you want to remove them, pipe the result through: grep -v ",$"

Anyone around to convert this to that nushell that was featured on HN a few weeks ago? I'm curious to see what the comparison would look like in a super practical real-life scenario

For Fortran I see

fortran-77 pl 1977 fortran-8x pl 1989 fortran-90 pl 1990

but not the earlier Fortran 66 aka Fortran IV and the later standards Fortran 95, 2003, 2008, and Fortran 2018. Numerous Fortran 95 compilers exist, and Cray, gfortran, IBM, Intel, and NAG have implemented much of Fortran 2008, according to http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Fortran+2008+status .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is listed as type library.

... in a table / page called "Languages".

Which also includes thinks like xml, css, csv, abacus, abnf, apacheconf, hcl, apt, bibtex, and git.
