It would probably be more accurate to list progamming languages in
groups and subgroups rather than individually.
Quite a� few are just dialects of some major brand and do not
neccesarily need to be listed separately.
I am not sure you would end up with many groups, there would be a lot
of subgroups and then various numerous dialects within the subgroups.
It would of course be interesting to see the number of followers who
believe in different groups, subgroups and dialects.
It will take years to get people to agree on the groupings and where
individual programming dialects really belong.
