As sheer casual reading matter, I still find the English dictionary the most interesting book in our language.

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
#2: RENE
Named after the famous French philosopher and mathematician Rene DesCartes, RENE is a language used for artificial intelligence. The language is being developed at the Chicago Center of Machine Politics and Programming under a grant from the Jane Byrne Victory Fund. A spokesman described the language as »Just as great as dis [sic] city of ours.«
The center is very pleased with progress to date. They say they have almost succeeded in getting a VAX to think. However, sources inside the organization say that each time the machine fails to think it ceases to exist.

Language creates meaning by difference.
The word »cat« and the word »hat« differ only in their first letters.
But that difference indicates the wisdom of placing the item on one's head.

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
#17: SARTRE
Named after the late existential philosopher, SARTRE is an extremely unstructured language. Statements in SARTRE have no purpose; they just are. Thus SARTRE programs are left to define their own functions. SARTRE programmers tend to be boring and depressed, and are no fun at parties.

With its vocabulary of approximately one million words, English is by far the world's richest language but only because is so gleefully accepts words from other languages.
For example, there is no counterpart in English for 'silhouette,' 'caravan,' 'schooner,' 'chipmunk' or 'hammock' to mention just a few so we use the foreign word itself.
Indeed, a mere 5% of words in English are derived from Anglo-Saxon.
