THE Language List
The largest and most comprehensive list on the net, and a fine job by the CUI group at University of Geneva and Bill Kinnersley. This list has a very good search capability, and many of the entries have links to FTP sites for compilers and tools. Unfortunately, some of the links on the list are a little out of date, but its source attribution and journal references are great.

More Programming Language Resource Links..
Some more resource links with descriptions.
