In that article is a link to: 20 Most Important Programming Languages In The World[^] on the same site.
Includes such gems as:
"Pascal is still taught as object-oriented programming at many places"
"ADA is an object-oriented programming language"
(On C) "Mother of many other programming languages–Python, PHP, Perl, MATLAB"
"World’s most popular mobile operating system Android is written in Java."
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

Now Microsoft Money fan RJ P has started a petition asking Satya Nadella to reconsider, and restore the app to service, adding it to the Office 365 subscription. You know it's not real money, right?

A UK, Canadian and Italian study has provided what researchers believe is the first observational evidence that our universe could be a vast and complex hologram. "Just remember that it's a Grand illusion and deep inside we're all the same. "

Quote: A holographic universe, an idea first suggested in the 1990s, is one where all the information that makes up our 3-D 'reality' (plus time) is contained in a 2-D surface on its boundaries. Atcherley, I "suggested" it in the late Seventies, but I couldn't get the numbers to work by the middle of the Eighties -- and a much simpler and more elegant possibility caught my eye, anyway.

This is a really cool and technically in depth article on the subject.

Modifying the “middle end” of a popular compiler yields more-efficient parallel programs. Let the compiler do it
Or: "Just replace your compiler, et voila!"
Or: Yeah, we did this with a language no one else uses. So?

From what I've been dealing with, we clearly first have a long way to go in realm of optimizing the code that so-called programmers write.

Marc Clifton wrote: optimizing the code that so-called programmers write Likely compilers are already better than many of those programmers. Some programmers use copy-paste in order to reduce function calls. Because a function call is expensive, that's decade old textbook knowledge. Well, current msbuild will do that for them even without the AggressiveInlining attribute (at least in Release mode), and we could write cleaner code instead of pseudo-optimized copy-paste...

While compilers can improve the implementation of an algorithm, it is still the programmer's job to select the correct algorithm and/or data structure.
Sadly, few seem to understand the basics of this.
