I'm writing a response to this not-very-well-researched article anarc.at/blog/2020-02-0 and have some random thoughts: 1. Barbara Liskov is a PLT badass and CLU might be in the top five most influential programming languages ever made (def top ten)

Thanks for this! Was super bummed out that that person missed out super influential langs like CLU and ISWIM.

Can we talk about APL, SNOBOL and FORMAC now? All the derivatives of Algol 58 like NELIAC, JOVIAL and MAD? FORTH? :-)

Talking about APL and a bit on FORMAC, no SNOBOL, I mention JOVIAL but don't go into details
