Hi. I just made my own version to my band "brewster", and it´s called "too many bottles of beer on a wall". It´s a funny rock-song, and someday, I hope, recorded...

1,200 examples online!
14 years after Tim Robinson has started his list of computer programs singing the "99 Bottles of Beer" song we have 1,200 examples in different variations, languages and styles online.
Thank you all. Thank you for your interest, your submissions, the votes and the guestbook entries.
Please keep submitting new examples. If I may I would love to ask for examples of forgotten computer systems (before 1995 and older), maybe some of you have some old manuals available and could spend some time...?
Thank you all,
Oliver

This site is legendary. Glad I came across it. Such a wide range of language examples, would make a useful resource to people learning to code.
Cheers.

In 1967 or so, I took a course in Jovial when I worked in the SPACETRACK system in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Normally we programmed the Philco 2000 in assembly language but the contractors (System Development Corp.) got a contract to redo everything in JOVIAL. JOVIAL is "Jules' Own Version Of International Algol" created by Jules Schwartz of System Development Corp. It was derisively referred to as their "job security" language since, once you wrote it in JOVIAL, no one else in the computer industry could compete with you... (Because no one else knew JOVIAL of course...)
They wrote their programs in JOVIAL but they wouldn't fit on our Philco 2000
(32K of 48 bit Words - two instructions per word for a grand total of 64K instructions max!) so we (Air Force officers) always had to rewrite everything in assembly language.
I still have the "Jovial Programming for the Philco 2000" manual from the class
and could, with some effort, probably construct a Jovial version - if anyone is still devoting any time to this site.
Probably would not be able to error check the program. The Jovial compiler
consisted of two Generation stages that converted program text into an intermediate assembly language of a machine that didn't exist followed by four Translator stages that converted the intermediate assembly language into the assembly language of the target machine - the Philco 2000 in our case. The purpose of JOVIAL was to achieve machine independence. The problem was that machines were vastly different in the I/O areas at that time so the dream could never be fully realized... FORTRAN was the only language that was machine independent.
JOVIAL compilation was incredibly slow. About one to two hours per program. I am unaware of any currently operating JOVIAL compilers...
I can still easily write assembly language for the Philco 2000 but we never became extremely facile with JOVIAL since it looked like a major boondoggle and the generated assembly language was very bloated compared to hand generated
assembly language. (In fact, one of our guys charged with the Differential Orbit Correction program had to shorten instructions to the computer operators in order to shoe-horn in new mathematical tweaks, e.g. "Mount tape 3 on drive 7" became "Mt 3-7" and a manual to translate such things had to be provided to the operators.)

Hallo,
ich hoffe, dass eine in deutsch verfasste E-Mail kein Problem für Sie ist und ich mein Anliegen an Sie verständlich machen kann.
In unserem Ort Rogätz, einem 2400-Einwohner-Dorf nahe Magdeburg in Sachsen-Anhalt, findet am 7. Juni zum 2. Mal der „Internationale Rogätzer Bierathlon“ statt. Wir würden uns wünschen, dass dieser erfolgreiche Spaß-Wettbewerb auch tatsächlich einmal internationale Teilnehmer lockt. Uns würde es deshalb sehr freuen, wenn Sie unsere Veranstaltung auf www.pint.nl ihrem Publikum bekannt machen würden und wir daraufhin ein paar internationale Freunde mehr hier begrüßen dürften.
Vielen Dank im Voraus
Mit freundlichem Gruß
Mathes
Machen Sie sich bitte hier ein Bild vom letztjährigen Bierathlon:

Hey, great site. I submitted a Javascript version, Object oriented, fully commented and much cleaner than the actual version.
Is there a possibility to get it included ?
Cheers

This is a nice idea, to bring all these languages, side by side. It shows the differences and the similarities, as the languages relate to each other.
