Abstract

Three stages of the development of programming languages are examined and compared with similar stages in the development of operating systems. It is noted that not only do these stages agree but particular developments within these stages also have remarkable similarities; some of these are superficial while others are deeper. The parallels are used to note that certain developments have yet to occur in operating systems. Finally, the essential identity of purpose of programming languages and operating systems is discussed.
