Classification of Programming Languages
Here's a whopping list of existing programming languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages
Classification of Languages
Technical aspects of languages will consider linguistic structure, expressive features, possibility of efficient implementation, direct support for certain programming models, and similar concerns. Some examples:
- Machine languages, that are interpreted directly in hardware
- Assembly languages, that are thin wrappers over a corresponding machine language
- High-level languages, that are anything machine-independent
- System languages, that are designed for writing low-level tasks, like memory and process management
- Scripting languages, that are generally extremely high-level and powerful
- Domain-specific languages, that are used in highly special-purpose areas only
- Visual languages, that are non-text based
- Esoteric languages, that are not really intended to be used, but are very interesting, funny, or educational in some way
