#2The title is misleading. I don't see "open source" mentioned anywhere on this page.
e.g. it is very unlikely that all the Basic variants listed here are open source.

There are languages you could write open-source applications with /s
There are definitely proprietary languages on that list.

#4The title is misleading. The list is about languages, of any kind, no matter if open source or not, or even if related to computing or not.
So much so that some entries that initially appeared weird to me are:
- morse code
- arezzo notation (a musical notation system)
- Balanced ternary
Then you look better... and you realize it's about languages in general, not about open source or programming at all.

Weirdly, the list itself is shared source (visible, encouragement to fork & PR, no license to be seen)

#6This list is very random. You can’t lump in musical notation from the year “1033” and call it programming.
They need to pick a theme at least, to make this useful.

#7Super cool! This list is very comprehensive and includes languages that aren’t on many other lists. I’m wondering how the author collected all of these. I’ve been building a list of programming languages posted to HN in my favorites list — it’s fun because everyone has their own idea or angle on what a programming language should look like and what features it should have.

Not even just languages. atom-editor is not a language.

#9They aren't consistently open source or programming languages (only categories “pl” and “esolang” seem to be programming languages.)
It's a list of...things.

I could almost stretch my mind that far. You could kind of think of a song as a program, and the musical notation as the programming language, and the performance of the song as executing the program.
Almost. It's sure not Turing complete, though...
