At the end of the meeting, they were in agreement. They wanted one data processing language, the language which came to be known as COBOL. That's programming pioneer Grace Hopper. We told her story last season, and there was so much love for the tale of Hopper and the early days of programming languages that we decided to follow up

with a whole season of amazing language stories. This is season three of Command Line Heroes, an original podcast from Red Hat. And I'm your host, Saran Yitbarek. In season one, we track the emergence of open source. I think a world without open source is almost bound to be evil. In season two, we push the limit of what developers can shoot for. One day, we're going to put humans on Mars. We're going to explore even further to find Earth 2.0. But we cannot wait to share Season 3's stories with you.

Each episode takes you further into the world of programming languages. We've been out on the road, listening to hundreds of developers and sysadmins, and your excitement for languages, your curiosity, has inspired us to devote a whole season to exploring their secret histories and amazing potential. The language I love the most right now is Python. One language I love is JavaScript. Okay, I know this sounds weird, but a language that I love is Vax Assembler. There's no wrong answer. We've got COBOL, we've got JavaScript, we've got C and Perl and Go. We're taking you to the college campus where BASIC was cobbled together. We're diving deep

into shell scripts so we can master the language of ops. Around the globe, heroes are using programming languages to develop a brighter, more open future. And we're all along for the ride, no matter where we're coming from. We now see all of these collaborative projects that are interwoven, so it's quite an evolution. Most programming languages, you can just learn a bit and you can really like make it do whatever you want. It's a meeting of the minds between humans and our technologies. A journey that extends

the possibilities of programming past anything that's come before. Command Line Heroes Season 3 drops this summer. You can subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts so you don't miss an episode. Check redhat.com slash command line heroes for all the details.
