Most programming languages do not come with Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), and in fact many programmers prefer to learn a powerful general-purpose text editor and use it for all their editing, including writing programs. Recommended editors are listed below. VS Code is the new kid on the block, but has very powerful, very compelling features. Vim and Emacs are a bit different than most editors, but they're both very powerful and run on practically every computer on the planet (they've also been around a long time). jEdit is written in Java, so it will run on anything that can run Java. Notepad++ is Windows-only, and is NOT the same as Notepad.

The three languages you select must be from different categories.
The language you select is subject to the following restrictions. You may NOT choose:
Most importantly, your language choice must be approved by me before it will be added to the schedule.
You should research the origins, history, and development of your language, including the following questions in your investigation: (1) What other languages influenced it? (2) What new features or constructs did it introduce? (3) What was its intended purpose? (4) Who created it? (5) Who uses it now?
Be creative in asking yourself other interesting questions about your language. It will be a challenge for you to organize and compress all that you learn into a succinct, interesting, and informative presentation. Make sure that you prioritize your findings and include the most important and interesting aspects of your language.
You should use PowerPoint or an equivalent presentation platform to organize your thoughts.
