Parent Hacks had a post that alerted me to the Nerd ABC flashcards, which I totally want to get for my daugther. I shared this with the folks on IRC and it turned into a discussion, thanks to Steve thinking that Fruit Fly wasn’t nerdy enough, of what a set of Programming Language ABC flash cards should look like.
Steve was kind enough to write up what was created by commitee.
Commitee’s list is great stuff, but had to point out that YACC isn’t a programming language, though its grammar file is often used to describe languages and generate compilers for them. So I’d like to nominate Yorick http://web.mit.edu/yorick_v1.5.12/yorick/1.5/doc/ for Y.
