This document is a mess. The title "The History of Programming Languages" does not correspond at all to the content.

No mention of machine language or assembly; no mention of functional or declarative style languages like Prolog, SQL, SetL; no mention of major languages like PL/1, Basic, Ada, Algol; no mention of a compiler or interpreter; one line on Lisp, banishing it to 1959; no mention of any theoretical underpinnings like Turing machines, Lambda calculus, computability.

I couldn't understand why anyone would put so much effort into making it look pretty and so little into making it communicate until I got to the end and learned it is just an advertisement for a security auditing program. They are really only concerned with current popular programming languages because that is what their prospective customers are using.
