Not as accurate or complete as http://www.levenez.com/lang/lang.pdf , but a nice read.

And if anyone is wondering (as I was) how many programming languages there are, http://people.ku.edu/~nkinners/LangList/Extras/langlist.htm has information on about 2500 languages.

I looked for 'E' both for the Amiga language, and Mark Miller's language.

Neither was there! Bizarre...
