Surprised to see the oldest programming language is Makefile (1970) in this chart. It appeared earlier than C (1972). Is this correct?

- calibwam 12y agoAccording to wikipedia [1], make appeared in 1976, so it should be younger than C. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)
- kjs3 12y agoC dates from 1969[1], though 1972 is probably a better date for "something very close to what first edition K&R describes". [1] http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/chist.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/chist.html
