| Mar 14, 2015 at 16:37 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | “time travel is physically impossible” — That’s a highly contentious claim. Doesn’t detract from the value of this answer of course. | |

| Dec 23, 2014 at 23:03 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | @FrancisDavey: Thanks. I started out compiling the list from memory, then I added dates I didn't remember by looking them up on Wikipedia. After that, I found a timeline of languages on Wikipedia, and picked a few more languages from there. Since the article on BCPL cites 1966, but the timeline cites 1967, I didn't notice that I had already added BCPL. I'll remove the duplicate. | |

| Dec 22, 2014 at 23:35 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | 1970: Niklaus Wirth creates Pascal, a procedural language. Critics immediately denounce Pascal because it uses x := x + y syntax instead of the more familiar C-like x = x + y. This criticism happens in spite of the fact that C has not yet been invented... | |
