Popis: This paper attempts to connects the evolution of computer languages with the evolution of life, where the later has been dictated by \emph{theory of evolution of species}, and tries to give supportive evidence that the new languages are more robust than the previous, carry-over the mixed features of older languages, such that strong features gets added into them and weak features of older languages gets removed. In addition, an analysis of most prominent programming languages is presented, emphasizing on how the features of existing languages have influenced the development of new programming languages. At the end, it suggests a set of experimental languages, which may rule the world of programming languages in the time of new multi-core architectures. Index terms- Programming languages' evolution, classifications of languages, future languages, scripting-languages.
