This dimension groups programming languages by the year they were first released. Wikipedia notes that "early programming languages were closely tied to the hardware," while "modern languages often hide hardware details via abstraction," a shift that unfolded language by language over many release years. Browsing by first released lets a visitor compare languages that launched in the same period.
