Nice work. Godspeed to you on its completion. As a newbie, watching the wikipedians' work, this is a definite improvement on the Google / newsgroup mechanism.

I also think that this article is great (especially better than the old one). It helped me a lot.

As a comment, I don't think Python is a 'procedural language with an object system grafted on top'. Granted very early versions of Python did not have a class construct (but releases even in 91, less than a year after initial release, did), but they did have built-in types which were created in C, such as lists and dictionaries. Method calls and the like for these already existed. You can argue whether Python's object system is clean, etc, but "grafted on top of a procedural language" does not seem accurate.

There were several full implementations of Algol 60 in Europe, and Burroughs Extended Algol was essentially the full language.

IMHO this article is great. as an upcoming language, C# is missing. Does that have any particular reason or is it just missing timeß I am not talking about a missing article, only about the link. I understand if you don't like that language, but may become an important one.

Is the section on syntax perhaps a little too technical? It might be better to remove the examples of BNF and so forth, as those are discussed adequately on the relevant page, and retaining them here only serves to make the topic look more complicated than it really is. Remember that the average computer programmer never looks at a formal grammar of any language -- and this page is surely aimed at people who are not necessarily even programmers!

It might also make sense to move the discussion of static/dynamic and strong/weak typing down to the "taxonomies" section.
