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.
