This is where I think Wikipedia really falls down as a repository of information. It's crazy that if a new programming language is invented, people would have update N Wikipedia pages.
If I built a simple DB that had all this info and interfaces (web, API) that folks could use to query or contribute, would anyone find this useful?
The best I could find was a Wikipedia page, they're sorted by alpha which I find not very useful:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages
Does anyone know of a better resource?
