Hello, reading this thread a question came to me: Is there a way of automatically deriving programming languages ascendancy? Like biologist can determine the distance between two genotypes, and determine a hierarchy between species from that. Are you aware of researchs made in the field? On the net I found interesting graphs but no comments on the methodology. http://www.levenez.com/lang/ http://rigaux.org/language-study/diagram.html Cheers, Corentin
