Technology Assessment of Computer Languages

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the history, assess the current trend, and then provide some insight into the future development of computer languages. To this end, four major sections are provided. Section I is a historical perspective of computer languages; Section II, the trend of today's development; Section III, a projection of what may be in the 1995 timeframe; and Section IV, the 2010 timeframe. Each section relies heavily on the information from the preceeding section, which is also typical of computer language. Each subsequent language seems to build from the mistakes and strengths of its predecessors. (AW)
