It is commonly said that one "dog year" is equivalent to seven "human years". Sometimes I feel like programming years are like "dog years", so let say a dog lives 15 years; in this article i will like to list some of the note worthy languages of the past 15 years and links to their official documentation. Here is my list in no particular order:
- Rust 2010 Rust Docs
- Dart 2011 Dart Docs
- Julia 2012 Julia Docs
- Swift 2014 Swift Docs
- Kotlin 2016 Kotlin Docs
- TypeScript 2012 Typescript Docs
- Ballerina 2017 Ballerina Docs
- Crystal 2014 Crystal Docs
- Nim 2008 Nim Docs
- Zig 2013 Zig Docs
- Elixir 2011 Elixir Docs
- Go 2009 Go Docs
- Red 2011 Red Docs
- Perl 6 2015 Perl 6 Docs
- Ceylon 2012 Ceylon Docs
So there you have it, how many of these have you used, and what would you add or remove from the list?

The absolute newcomer as of 2023 worth to be added to the list is usage of the oOo way of doing things which final effect is an improved clarity of mind and usage of spoken language for writing computer programs. Just check it out to see yourself.
I am surprised to actually see Red in the list ... an attempt to continue where Rebol stopped. Congratulations to be aware of it. To be honest ... no real improvement in the power of programming language concepts since year 2000 ... 23 years lost on being confused by diversity in programming and diversity of genders ...
