Great list. Really great list, such diversity (except the inclusion of both PLT Scheme (now Racket) and Clojure). Squeak has been on my list for a while now. Haven’t heard of Io before, will check it out.
What list would you make today?
I would keep it the same mostly. Remove Racket and include Go for sure. Maybe swap Scala with Nirmod.
it’s a foresighted post but they’ve missed the d programming language. [0] it’s worth checking out as it’s a c / c++ replacement. imagine you are building your application as you wish but with the speed of c or c++. it is used by many system and game developers. it only lacks support for web development as part of stdlib but there’s also a web framework called vibe.d [1]
there is also a spectacular book on d by ali cehreli. [2] freely available in english [3] and turkish [4].
Interesting. 6 years later that’s still a pretty good list. Maybe missing GoLang, today.
First release of Go was done in 2009 according to Wikipedia, that explains why he missed it.
I meant that, today, GoLang would be added to that list.
