A comment on List of 4,248 open source programming languages.

The title is misleading. The list is about languages, of any kind, no matter if open source or not, or even if related to computing or not.

So much so that some entries that initially appeared weird to me are:

- morse code

- arezzo notation (a musical notation system)

- Balanced ternary

Then you look better... and you realize it's about languages in general, not about open source or programming at all.

Weirdly, the list itself is shared source (visible, encouragement to fork & PR, no license to be seen)

Not even just languages. atom-editor is not a language.

Some of them aren't even languages. Like another commenter mentioned, it's just a list of things. Which makes me wonder: why is it on HN
