Okay, I give.
I think we've sufficiently driven away everyone except us three. |

I'll give it another few hours, in case someone else wants to join in, or orlok wants to increase his lead. And then I'll post all the ones I can think of that the two of you have missed!

I declare orlok the winner.
Common languages not mentioned: Coral 66 Postscript Perl AppleScript Batch (DOS/Windows) BCPL Logo Lua Modula A few oddities BBC Basic (sufficiently different to count, I think) SOBS Basic (Southampton Official BASIC System from the mid 1970s - one idiosyncracy was the use £ instead of $ for strings.) JEAN (Another one from my ICL 1904 days) A vast list is available at Wikipedia. Anyway, over to orlok! |

I thought Perl was mentioned by Orlok. I wouldn't call Postscript a language, it's markup for printing much like HTML is markup for a screen, although you can iterate and such so it does get interpreted which makes it a language. Would that not make ghostscript and LaTeX also a language (it has \loop and \repeat items?) I'm assuming pdurrant was meaning that you could make a Turing Machine with the language in question.
I should have gotten Logo. |
