Talk:Third-generation programming language
Can BASIC be called a modern programming language now, in 2005?
"Modern" programming languages would IMHO include languages like ML and Haskell; if Java is included, then it would be because it is mainstream now, its ideas were modern in the 1980s, when C was mainstream.
I say no. BASIC hasn't been officially updated in ages and it doesn't support most things expect from a modern programming language, such as polymorphism. The real question is, is language like C or Java modern and what makes a progamming language modern? FrederikHertzum (talk) 15:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Some compilers of some languages compile program source into "intermediate language" which has lower level of abstraction but it still much larger than 2G. Which level these languages has? Which level this intermediate language has?
