A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages

James Iry is a very funny man, here is a sample:

1964 – John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz create BASIC, an unstructured programming language for non-computer scientists.

1965 – Kemeny and Kurtz go to 1964.

I am not a computer programmer, and I get the humor and find it funny.
