A Radio Show on the History of Programming Languages

2024-02-04 — Michael Haupt

(Warning: the links in this post all go to German content, and I don't know if all of them work for readers outside Germany.)

My favourite radio station, Deutschlandfunk, has a thing they call “long night” ("lange Nacht") where they devote almost 3 hours to one topic. These shows air on weekends, and obviously so late that it’s neither easy to note them happening, nor to listen through without falling asleep. Thankfully, DLF has an audio archive where most content is kept available for some months after broadcasting. Note that this is all free content if you live in Germany (because you’ve already paid).

Here’s one on the history of programming languages. It appears this is a re-cast (maybe modified?) of content from 2019 the complete script for which you can read here.
