>what are the latest versions of common programming languages and when were they released?

is this a real question you needed an answer to, or a hypothetical you posed to test the quality of search results?

of course you're going to get listicles for a query like that, because it sounds like a query specifically chosen to find low-quality listicles.



It is a proxy to questions that pop up as part of other sessions in my daily use. The LLM chooses its query itself and as long as it is not fine tuned to avoid the “listicles”, or its underlying search engine are not putting importance on more factual responses, I don’t think the answer quality will be as high. It would be weird and redundant if I had to talk to the LLM as if it’s an old school search engine, wouldn’t it?


I honestly doubt there exist an actual reputable resource having it on a same page. Each language tracks their own latest version(s). Wikipedia tracks latest versions for a variety of software but it's on different pages.


Technically that list exists inside of the two big version managers!


You are the best kind of correct.
