In fairness to Java/C# I think D&D 4 might be better represented as Scratch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(programming_language)

I actually heard that D&D 4 was even more rule-based/tactics ... so maybe even ADA? :D

C# should cover everything (or GURPS), it can do anything, if you can keep up with its caprices (a billion rulebooks) and afford the hardware (7/24 caffeine injections) to keep it going.

I would compare GURPS to lisp, given that it tried to encompass any possibility with increasing complexity!

D&D First Edition is Assembly?

I think most of the time AD&D is referred to as First Edition.

But to extend on your point - maybe Original D&D is like Forth in this analogy?

depends when you started 1st ed for me was the 3 brown books
