There have been a zillion computer languages since the 1950s, but there are relatively few Hall Of Fame languages. There are even fewer Monumentally Important languages.
I will argue that there are 3 languages that are absolutely monumental: Cobol, C, and Java. (Let the flame wars begin!)
Java was invented by a Canadian, who recently received major recognition: the Order of Canada. Many thanks to Fred for passing along the link (from the CBC no less!)
