50. Machine code I'd also point out that if it's languages you're trying to list, JavaScript arguably should not have a separate entry from Java (and probably VBScript vs Visual Basic too). I also think ADA should be spelled Ada - you seem to be _trying_ to capitalize correctly....
I already responded off-list to Michael Hines, the originator of this thread, but perhaps I can just add if all everyone is interested in is a list of programming languages, you can find a nice list at the ACM Hello World page: http://www2.latech.edu/~acm/HelloWorld.shtml I would have mentioned it earlier had I known that we were going to continue down this rabbit trail. Besides, there are lots of other similar sites available. (Google is your friend. ;-) Now let's get back on track of WHAT collecting such a list has to do with secure programming. Does the original poster (Michael Hines) intend on developing an ontology of programming languages based on how they support (or fail to support--whoa, really big list ;-) secure programming? If so, I can see how we might all learn some lessons from that. If not, I guess I'm missing the whole point this thread was started, so please enlighten me. Thanks, -kevin wall --- Kevin W.
