Wow I can't believe its been like 3 months since I last blogged (forgive me father for I have sinned).  So, for those who have probably dropped me off their blog readers I do apologise.

Todays computer history lesson is pretty short, in fact the lesson is actually plagarised of another blog entry.  Anyone interested in where the modern programming lessons evolved from should check out http://www.levenez.com/lang/

So, from this we can track down all those annoying features and identify where they were introduced.  One of the most interesting points from this is the longivity of Fortan.  I had no idea that is preceeded the likes of C and other such languages by so much.  My dad actually used it back then, and depressingly still uses it today (he is an Engineer btw!)
