Line 56:
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)
Why is [[Mark 1 Autocode ]](the first publicly available high level programming language, a couple of years before Fortran) not on this list? Or the original (Glennie, 1952) Manchester Autocode? They probably ought to be here. [[User:MichealT|MichealT]] ([[User talk:MichealT|talk]]) 14:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
