Is MATLAB Programming missing ? MATLAB programming supports OOPS and activex server programming too. Is it missing because it is costly? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/65.200.157.177|65.200.157.177]] ([[User talk:65.200.157.177|talk]]) 21:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Having programmed in both SNOBOL3 and COMIT, I can assure you that they are utterly different in style, syntax, model of the universe, and everything else ''except'' that a) statements were punched into the first 72 columns of a Hollerith card, b) they were both text-processing languages, and c) both are deader than Etruscan. I wrote my first program around 1967 in the basement of the Old Gym at Indiana U in Bloomington, a former basketball court converted to house a CDC-3400/3600 system (the 3400 acted as an input preprocessor for the 3600). So why is SNOBOL shown as a "descendant" of COMIT? -- Craig Goodrich [[Special:Contributions/24.14.168.244|24.14.168.244]] ([[User talk:24.14.168.244|talk]]) 00:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
