    > How do you define single creator?

    The creators define how many creators there were.

    It's all open source and anyone can fix any mistakes by updating one line (for example, here's the creators entry for Python: https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/b8ae74253733e4aa0fb57d26...).

    We generally don't have any disputes but there's the occasional error and always open to pull requests to fix those.

    But you do bring up a good point about contributors/maintainers. Adding that data is definitely on the priority list, but might be a 2025/2026 thing.

    > if you follow one or more internal links, the back button loops

    This should not happen.

    Any chance you could record a Loom (or other screencast tool), showing me what you mean?

    That way I can add a fix to our open source, public domain database of languages (https://github.com/breck7/pldb), which I thought could really help the OP, who is building a new language.

    > Almost unusuable!

    Almost?! Wow! I'll take that as a compliment. I just assumed it was completely unusable on an untested platform like that ;).

    Again, very sorry for the experience, and if you'd like to get involved helping make it work great on Android for Firefox, source code is:

    Or we'd gladly accept any grants to prioritize that kind of work!

    This may have been posted before, but recently put a lot of effort into making this page better.

    New features:

    - Lots more links to the homepages of creators. Check out some of these! Some of the most interesting, most pristine pages on the web.

    - New sparkline showing a histogram of when creators were born.

    - Download as JSON/TSV/CSV links.

    - All this data is now stored in a single file using ScrollSets (Check out the source: https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/creators/creators.s...) ... More on ScrollSets: https://breckyunits.com/scrollsets.html

    Still a lot more data to add. Pull requests appreciated!

    You might enjoy https://pldb.io/, which is a paywall free, open source, public domain, database you can browse completely locally, with information on all of these kinds of prior languages.

    We classify JSON as a data notation (line 4 on https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/concepts/json.scrol...)

    We classify something like C as a "pl" (programming language) (line 4 on https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/concepts/c.scroll).

    We classify both data notations and programming languages as computer languages.
