    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    Interpreted languages are programming languages in which programs may be executed from source code form, by an interpreter. Theoretically, any language can be compiled or interpreted, so the term interpreted language generally refers to languages that are usually interpreted rather than compiled.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

    This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    Interpretation cannot be used as the sole method of execution: even though an interpreter can itself be interpreted and so on, a directly executed program is needed somewhere at the bottom of the stack because the code being interpreted is not, by definition, the same as the machine code that the CPU can execute.

    BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) [1] is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use. The original version was created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College in 1963.

  7. Scripting language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

    A scripting language is sometimes referred to as very high-level programming language if it operates at a high level of abstraction, or as a control language, particularly for job control languages on mainframes. The term scripting language is sometimes used in a wider sense, to refer to dynamic high-level programming

  8. Comparison of programming languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    Like natural languages, programming languages follow rules for syntax and semantics. There are thousands of programming languages [ 1 ] and new ones are created every year. Few languages ever become sufficiently popular that they are used by more than a few people, but professional programmers may use dozens of languages in a career.

  9. Compiled language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiled_language

    A compiled language is a programming language for which source code is typically compiled; not interpreted. The term is vague since, in principle, any language can be compiled or interpreted and in practice some languages are both (in different environments). [ 1 ]
