Explanation of Solution
Criteria used to judge all
There are various criteria to evaluate programming languages. Some of the main criteria include:
- Readability
- Writability, and
- Reliability
There can be some more criteria to evaluate programming languages. Now, discuss some more criterions.
- One such criterion is the programming community for any language. As we know that, the programming community can provide support for any problem one may counter during the use of that language.
- So if any language has large programming community, so naturally there will be better response to grievances of the prospective and practicing programmers.
- Also, the language with wider programming community, tend to get updates and fixes at regular intervals which makes sure the language gets developed as per the latest standards and needs...

Then rewrite it so that it is consistent with the principles of person-first language. There was a time when disabled kids were not allowed to go to school. They were institutionalized or kept at home. The parents of these disabled students, and of others who were wheelchair bound, mute, and others, began to fight for the rights of their children to receive a free public education. Because of these advocacy efforts, in 1973, the Rehabilitation Act was signed into law. It prohibited any agency receiving federal funding, including most public schools, from discriminating against a disabled child. This paved the way for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which ensures educational services for all handicapped children throughout the nation. These laws have provided disabled students the right to receive an education at their neighborhood school with their peers.arrow_forward
