We can revive the old 'language generations' concept I was taught in school: - First generation: binary opcodes entered by hand. - Second generation: Assembler languages. - Third generation: Compiled languages like C++. - Fourth generation: Interpreted high level like Python and Ruby. Also SQL. - Fifth generation: There's no such thing. Or may be Apple's Siri is. Java seems to be in a "3.5" generation, if that thing can be conceived. Javascript started as fourth and keeps getting a little bit closer to third.
