Looks like 1995 was a great year for programming languages - PHP, Java, Javascript and Ruby were released!

- masklinn 12y agoYou mean older. Python's initial release predates Java's by 4 years (although its v1.0 was only in 1994). More frustratingly, Haskell is older than both.
- thu 12y agoI wonder how many man-month or how much money was put into GHC vs. cpython.
- dukerutledge 12y agoYeah, but you couldn't actually write anything useful in Haskell at that time.
- doctorstupid 12y agoPerhaps you meant older?
- V-2 12y agoYou missed "but" after "PHP" ;) </trolling off>
- masklinn 12y agoThe whole comment can be read as both straight or sarcastic, really.
- Argorak 12y agoRuby's development started in 1993 (February 24, to be exact). First full release was 1995 (December 21, that one I had to look up :)). This is very interesting in my opinion: whenever someone asks why one of those languages doesn't do $featureA "like Java", you can just reply: "because Java wasn't a thing back then".
- vorg 12y agoGroovy's creation year is wrong, it should be 2003 not 2004. It was first announced by creator James Strachan on 29 August 2003, and its very first release (Groovy 1.0 beta 1) was on 11 December of that same year. Unfortunately, someone who became a "despot" of the project at its repository (Codehaus) on 4 May 2004 started referring to himself as Groovy's creator in publicity articles about a year ago. A few months ago, someone even tried deleting the Wikipedia link to James Strachan's webpage announcing the Groovy Language.
