Lambda the Ultimate

UPENN or the Pentagon? Or both?

If a language was invented in one place but became popular when the individual or team moved to a second place, the second place is what should be located on the map (feel free to note this fact in the description attached to the pin).

The Bell Labs pin seems to be rather arbitrarily placed? Unless its current location in the middle of nowhere about a mile south of Mt. Misery is a comment on something ;)

According to Wikipedia, "Among the historical Bell Laboratories locations in New Jersey were Crawford Hill, Deal, Freehold, Holmdel, Lincroft, Long Branch, Middletown, Murray Hill, Princeton, Piscataway, Red Bank, and Whippany."

Added Microsoft (Redmond) - C#, Visual Basic, and perhaps others that qualify as major. Sun (Menlo Park) - Java. And Xerox PARC (Palo Alto) - Smalltalk, but does it qualify?

I also added Ruby as being somewhere in the Shimane Prefecture of Japan, but that may not be quite right as none of the online histories I found mention where Matz was at the time that Ruby was launched.

I came across this map, which can be a useful reference. But keep in mind the specific methodological restrictions above.

Shouldn't Ada be added?
As for the location, I think its designers were French but it's the DOD which selected it..

I want to thank everyone participating. Please note that I specifically asked for programming languages with a large following and industrial market share. I do not want to split hairs: if there is any doubt, the language does not belong on this map. So please review the following, which seem inappropriate to me, and remove languages that do not fall into the intended category: Scala, Mesa, Cedar, ML, LCF, ELF, PCF, Hope, Links, Twelf, Modula-3, Clean, Ocaml, Coq, Dylan, AppleScript, NewtonScript, Erlang,Lua. In some cases these projects may be relevant to the second category.

If a location should be on the map due to some major language(s), but was also involved with languages with lower penetration, these can be included in parenthesis. If a location is only responsible for languages with lower penetration, it should not be on this map. I hope it will be apparent why soon.

Thanks!

All this talk of the Lazy Web... I asked for participation in a specific project, and what happens? Every language under the sun is put on the map (Cedar?!). This is the map equivalent of trolling. I guess I'll need to do this privately. I hope this is just the result of me going about this the wrong way and nothing more.

- Twelf (CMU)
- Dylan, AppleScript, NewtonScript (Apple)

Forth was born in Kitt Peak, Arizona, although there were precursors elsewhere. APL was also born at IBM. Actually, the IBM languages were born not all that far away from the IBM World Headquarters.

Where is Algol? And OCaml, Erlang and Haskell most cetainly have "industrial" market share.

I did not want this to turn in to a religious war type of discussion, nor to troll LtU. I expected too much, I guess. I apologize for involving the LtU readership in this thread, which does not match neither the the spirit not the policies of LtU. I will attempt not lengthen this discussion thread anymore.

Thanks to all those who tried to help.

I've added two for Stracheyphiles, namely CPL & GPM, from the 1960s at Cambridge Mathematics Laboratory. I'm not quite sure, however, where exactly that is; based on the clue that the laboratory was housed in an old anatomy school, I'm guessing that it is in the area of the old Addenbrooks site on Trumpington Road. Better information will be gratefully received.
