Description
The website 99 bottles of beer contains a collection of programs which all produce the lyrics to the song 99 bottles of beer. These lyrics are generated in 1348 different programming languages showing the variaty of existing programming languages.
In this seminar we will look at 15 of these programming languages to see several different flavors of languages. In this way, we will detect
- limitiation of some old languages,
- distinguished features of some current languages,
- the power of some esoteric languages, and
- some languages for dedicated purposes.
