I think C was 2nd, 3. is Java and Python, 4 SQL and 5th would be some hypothetical AI instruction language?

When the gp's book says that C is a third generation language: I would guess the first generation is Fortran and the second generation contains ALGOL and BCPL. C was heavily influenced by BCPL. (get it? C comes after B)

I think we mean different kinds of "generations".

SQL has been around since the 1970s

That doesn't mean it's not higher level than other languages from more recent times.

Level means level of abstraction. Right?
