This history was written in the spring of 2000 when I was in eighth grade. For several years after I wrote it, the text was available online and it became a reference for other articles, Wikipedia entries, and even college courses. I have placed the report here for posterity and amusement (how could I have possibly left out Python??). In 2004, I made two updates in response to e-mailed criticisms, but the text is otherwise unchanged. For a more up-to-date reference, I shamelessly point you to Wikipedia.
