List of programming languages

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


The following is a comprehensive list of programming languages. Programming languages are used to create software, applications, and systems. They are categorized based on their paradigm, syntax, and use case.

High-level programming languages[edit | edit source]

High-level programming languages are designed to be easy for humans to read and write. They abstract the details of the computer hardware.

Low-level programming languages[edit | edit source]

Low-level programming languages provide little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture. They are often used for system programming.

Scripting languages[edit | edit source]

Scripting languages are often used for automating processes and are usually interpreted rather than compiled.

Functional programming languages[edit | edit source]

Functional programming languages are based on mathematical functions and avoid changing-state and mutable data.

Object-oriented programming languages[edit | edit source]

Object-oriented programming languages are based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code to manipulate the data.

Procedural programming languages[edit | edit source]

Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of procedure calls, where statements are structured into procedures or functions.

Logic programming languages[edit | edit source]

Logic programming languages are based on formal logic and are used to express facts and rules about problems within a system of formal logic.
