Here we go with the language discussion.
First I put on the flameproof suit, insert ear plugs, cover eyes with
antiflash goggles, and place flack vest on front and back.
Are any of the following a computer language?
I would say that all of these are computer languages. If they can solve
problems, then why not? Whether the language is specific for certain types
of tasks (say Postscript) or more general (C) it would still be a computer
language...
IBM JCL
IBM assembler
DCL
SPSS
SAS
BMDP
C
Datatrieve
HPGL
At some time in my life I have solved problems with all of them.
I peek out to see if there is superheated steam in the area and then check
Geiger counter for background radiation levels. My only comment is that you
should pick the language you like and that can solve your problem. I'm too
old to be intolerant.
Even FoxPro can loosely be considered a computer language...
