Talk:Fifth-generation programming language

are we sure of this entry? I've never heard of fifth generation languages being defined as constraint solving languages

I have. There's the Japanese fifth generation computer systems project, this link here, FOLDOC says this, and the ALP mentiones it. Also, it's defined here as "sometimes considered to be a 4GL with a knowledge-based system built in". I've also heard it mentioned in the Prolog community and I believe in the book Principles of Constraint Programming by Apt. However, I have also seen it defined as a language that uses a graphical design interface (like VB or Delphi) but I've only seen it mentioned as this once here. - DNewhall

Why aren't any of these references in the article? From searching google, it seems like this is an infrequently used term that largely died in the 80s. Mbelisle 05:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are constraints and then other strategic methods that can be applied. This page needs to be further developed. jmswtlk 22:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few of the programs that are referred to as 5th generation were released before those in the 3rd generation, is their any references that show how to properly place a language based on features over when it was release or is it entirely the concepts/paradigm it supports.

This page is completely bogus. It needs to be killed. John Nowak (talk) 01:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Programming language generations

This group of articles has problems. Please see current discussion at Talk:Second-generation programming language. Trevor Hanson 20:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New crappy definition

What with the new alternative definition???

4GL are already coming with visual tools since around 1990... and I have been using them. Even 3GL like C++ Dot net have visual editing tool....
