Fifth Generation languages and computers, for use in the 1990's, may be based on significantly different concepts than traditional computing. There are four major categories of computing, each consisting of a programming style and corresponding computer. These are: procedural languages (and control flow computers); object-oriented languages (and actor computers); functional languages (and data flow or reduction computers); and logic languages (and logic computers). In the future any of these categories of languages may become "main-stream" programming styles. In this paper we briefly present these novel programming languages and examine their advantages and disadvantages for programming.

This paper surveys the different levels of language available to program microcomputers and stresses the trend towards higher levels languages, such as PASCAL, with their variety of data structures and structured control facilities. Comparison is made between the language requirements for microcompu
