The number of programming languages in production used to be really large. So large, 400+, that a reduction project was given green light(*). To get the number up again, is seems that the market is having every programming language multiplied by at least two build tools' description language. As before, mostly single vendors are providing the definitions of a respective formalism, versions, obsolescence, life cycle policies, all included. __ (*) Around 40 languages here. Does the number seem familiar?
