I love programming languages. my favourite one is Perl, but I love them all, really. including BASIC and Assembler. and I've spent a lot of time doing research and learning new languages, so I want to share some of my favorite bookmarks on the topic.

• Ziring's Dictionary of Programming Languages, fairly comprehensive and with many small examples
• Doug Bagley's Great Computer Language Shootout (of which I mantain the Win32 version). it's mainly a benchmark suite, but also very good at showing simple algorithms implemented in several languages
• pixel's Languages Study page, especially its syntax across languages project
• also the PLEAC project which aims at reproducing the Perl Cookbook recipes in other programming languages.

many, many more links are available from the pages I've mentioned.

PS. one language that I really liked a lot (and almost noone seems to know) is Pliant. really, really worth a look in my opinion.

cheers,
Aldo
