I heartily agree. ActionScript is a fully-featured, highly-used language with hundreds of books written on it and a lot of code around the web and it is reprehensible that it is not included in this list. How can Google keep its mission of organizing the world's knowledge if it does not include this part of programming. Especially now that You Tube is part of Google and if I understand correctly You Tube uses the Flash Media Server and so must have ActionScript code involved.

Googs:
Won't you please add the Actionscript to your language list? A lot of people out there are coding Flash, Flex, and Apollo *TODAY* and it seems patently absurd to have obscure languages like Erlang, Eiffle, Haskalland Modula-2 (a language that it was never possible to do ANYTHING in even in its heyday) as recognised languages and not Actionscript. For developing RIAs, I know you guys are all about some AJAX, but puh-leeeeeze!
In case you've been off-planet for the last little bit, Actionscript 3 adheres to the ECMAScript Edition 4 standard, and the virtual machine has been open-sourced by Adobe and is being integrated into Firefox by the Mozilla foundation as we speak. It will be next year's JavaScript!!!
For the benefit of other Flash / Flex / Apollo coders out there, frustrated with this situation, until the googs wake up, make your searches like this:
