Absolutely hilarious. I liked the first link better, being more inclusive. But the second link had ADA, which the first did not. I wonder why.
That said, I am familiar with more of these languages than you young 'uns would admit to. I kept chuckling out loud (no, I won't use the term LOL) until the wife finally had to ask what I was laughing about.
I had to resort to a modification of a well-known meme:
"If you're a programmer, no explanation is necessary. If you are not a programmer, no explanation is possible."

at the description of SAS. That was my first exposure to anything like a 4GL, and there isn't much you can't do with it. (at least, within the set of things I wanted to do - statistical analysis, chemical kinetics calculations, and database translations.)
Afterthought re 4GL: wonder why they didn't include LabView. A target-rich environment if ever I saw one.
