>>> http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/contents/language.html

Also missing:
CLOS
CPL (although it is referenced under BCPL)
Lua (http://www.lua.org/ - interesting!)
Mathematica
ML

Of course none of my languages appear, ;) including:

- A Minsky-register-machine macro-assembler (2001)
- Proprietary language Taxcel (1999)
- DE, which I designed for implementing I-APL (1986)
- Proprietary market-research language IRL (1976)
- Unnamed OO language (work in progress)

My guess is that historically there are thousands, if not tens of thousands,
of proprietary languages, probably many of which are still used in
production code years after their first implementation.

Additionally there must be thousands, if not tens of thousands, of languages
developed by hobby programming-language designers like me, which only got to
prototype stage.

Cheers, Paul
