3rd or 4th generation lang (was Associative vs Analytical)

Didn't quite get all you said, Ralf, but I'm curious about these things
myself. Will check out the URL when I get a chance.
Euphoria says its a 3rd-gen language (could someone go over the generatio=
ns
with me)? Now, its still a bottom-up language. In other words, I still
have to tell it what to do. My guess is that "4th gen" languages" are
those that will let you tell it a problem and it figure out an algorithm =
to
solve it.
Now, I've seen snippets of many languages: BASIC, some C (boy, did I run
away fast!), Euphoria, and recently ScriptV, Java, JavaScript. Some
porport to be "object-oriented". Well, I think we want a language that's=
problem-oriented. I think, though, that I'm getting into AI.
Anyway, the most "advanced" languages I've seen are languages similar to
Euphoria. But I am still setting the mini-goals and selecting the means.=
=
Not only that, I'm still trying to figure out how to code those "means". =
Just a thought.
