This might be good for a "History of Programming Languages" course. To teach programming languages in an historical context, is a different task. While teaching the most modern version with its best practices, one could mention that feature X was first used in language L, for example.
- wolfgke 11y ago> To teach programming languages in an historical context, is a different task. To present the topic in a historical context the students first have to know what was context/standard at that time, under what circumstances the solutions of their time were developed, whether the restrictions still hold etc. In other words: You would have to include half of a "History of Programming Languages" course, since this is surely not common knowledge.
