History of programming languages

Here is a diagram with a “family tree” showing the history of programming
languages. Ruby is in there.

http://www.levenez.com/lang/

It shows Ruby cross-polinating from Perl, Eiffel, Smalltalk, and Python.

The author also has diagrams for the history of Unix and Windows. The
Unix one is very impressive. Unix is truly a diverse family.

Cheers,

Has Ruby really been around since February 1993?

If so, was anything done this past February to celebrate? :slight_smile:

Hi –

Has Ruby really been around since February 1993?

Yes.

If so, was anything done this past February to celebrate? :slight_smile:

The tenth birthday was noted here and on some of the Ruby websites. I
don’t know whether there were any official parties :slight_smile:

In the near future we could celebrate:

  • 4000 days of Ruby (4 * 10 ** 3)
  • 4096 days of Ruby ( 2 ** 12)
