All,


There has been remarkably little work that tries to measure
programming language similarity.


Yes, there are many multi-language runtime benchmark comparisons, and
people extract data from Wikipedia to made dubious claims.


Does anybody know of other kinds of attempts at measuring language
similarity?


Here is one approach

[That seems awfully simplistic. Fortran and PL/I both have FORMAT statements that look
superficially similar but the semantics are very different. -John]
