The Last Programming Language

What is the ultimate 3GL programming language?  The history of programming languages is full of attempts that fell short. I really enjoyed this 1 hour trip down memory lane by uncle Bob in which he evaluates programming languages and explains what is good about each language and where it failed. In the end he recommends a new language with a surprising set of functional lisp-like features with triples. Looking into this language further I'm impressed what it may eventually be able to do with RDF & graph DBMS and other metadata-rich environments. Enjoy the show:



Also a special-purpose language worth knowing is the Worlfram Language for one-off complex analysis.
