> "Dialect of" Programming languages are not natural languages. The usual definition (which is loose) of a dialect in natural languages does not actually apply on "programming languages", which I repeat do not even classify as natural language. Comparing our natural definition of a "dialect" to a PL definition of a dialect is erroneous. I will not defend the parent's use of the word dialect anymore, and I think "decedent" is the right word to go.
