This afternoon I wrote some tips on how to present a new* programming language to HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46608577. It occurred to me that HN has a tradition of posts called "The {name} programming language" (continuing a long earlier tradition of papers and books with such titles) and it might be fun to track them down. I tried to keep only the ones with interesting comments.
Posts of the form "Show HN: [...] Programming Language" are listed at https://news.ycombinator.com/showlang.
These are curated lists so they're frozen in time. Maybe we can figure out how to update them.
[editing - bear with me...]
* where 'new' might also mean old, of course, a la https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23459210.
