This book traces this lineage through the most influential languages--those that have deeply impacted the way that programmers think and write--and provides insight into the motivation behind them, their major influences, and the important features that each language contributed. Throughout, it is my hope to develop within the reader a new appreciation of the art of programming computers, an understanding of the impact that language has on our thinking, and an excitement about the future of language design that lies ahead.
