All right, I think the title says it all, yet to elaborate things a bit:
This thread ranks the best Programming languages(yes this is of course subjectiv!) of the 60s-80s and early 90s.

The purpose of ranking retro-programming languages is to evaluate and compare the different programming languages that were commonly used in the past. This can help programmers understand the evolution of programming languages and the different features and capabilities of each language.
Examples of retro-programming languages include COBOL, FORTRAN, ALGOL, and BASIC. These languages were widely used in the 1960s and 1970s, but have since been largely replaced by newer languages.
The ranking of retro-programming languages is typically determined by considering factors such as popularity, usability, and relevance in today's programming landscape. Other factors may include the availability of resources and support for the language, as well as its influence on modern programming languages.
Studying and ranking retro-programming languages allows us to understand the foundations of modern programming languages. It also helps us appreciate the advancements and improvements that have been made in programming languages over time and how they have shaped the way we code today.
No, there is not a definitive ranking of retro-programming languages as it is subjective and can vary depending on the criteria used for evaluation. Additionally, the relevance and usage of these languages may change over time, making it difficult to have a fixed ranking.
