When I learnt programming (back in early 2000s) the textbook said C is a high level 3rd generation language with 4th gen languages being something higher (I don't remember what examples were given specifically). This is back when the java applets and action script for flash were the hot things. How I miss the days without the world being cursed by JS.

Java applets and flash were an absolute security nightmare of the highest degree.

You were just running applications on your computer.

If you had to download and run an application on your computer to view a website now people would lose their minds (and rightly so)
