Hi all,
I just noticed that O'Reilly has put out a "History of Languages"
poster. You can find it at
http://www.oreilly.com/news/graphics/prog_lang_poster.pdf
Notice anything missing? Where's Ruby dammit?!

Oh, and be sure to sing "Get Up, Stand Up" while typing.

Ruby is right there, between Java and Applescript.

Anyone who feels like complaining about that should look twice at the
poster before they make a fool of themselves.
Ruby _is_ mentioned on the poster (between Java and AppelScript).

Thanks for letting us know about the poster. I hadn't seen it.

And anyone who is about to reply aggressively like that should think twice before posting it to this list. Or just shut up.

Yes, you were the *3rd* person to correct me. 
Well, anyway, at least everyone here knows about the poster now.

Well... what is the poster? You linked directly to it -- is it something you can buy? Online or in stores? It's pretty cool actually.
It's also interesting to see how few languages that came around after Ruby are still really big... then again, if a language is only a few years old it's probably still under O'Reilly's radar. They're probably the ones who are complaining about not getting a mention.

Poke around from there to read about how to acquire an actual poster.

ah! I could not remember the url, thanks.
it seem to me that OReilly's poster it's exactly this same poster with
some more colors and languages. Nice to see anyway, but there are a
lot more not covered. I wonder how big could the list become listing
*all* the languages..

It would probably be nearly 3000 langugages - http://people.ku.edu/~nkinners/LangList/Extras/langlist.htm

It makes no sense if you try to count all languages because what counts as an independent language is not so clear as it may seem at first sight. I don't think that GW-BASIC and VB (though they both call themselves a 'BASIC') are different dialects of the same language - they are different programming languages. But that is my personal opinion, others may have a different one. An even more demanding question: Should one just count assembler or should one count z80 assembler, x86 assembler, 68x assembler and so on as different languages?
