Category Programming Language

Pages to do with ProgrammingLanguages (contrast CategoryNaturalLanguage).

The convention is to append 'Language' for the WikiName and to expand single letters according to the WikiAlphabet. However, sometimes that doesn't work and you have to improvise. Some less obvious or WikiUnFriendlyNames are listed here (seems to me that all are listed here; should we clean this up?):

Practical Jokes

BackWardLanguage
InterCal
BefungeLanguage
BrainfuckLanguage (a teaching language) (I think this BrainfuckLanguage is not actually a joke, it was made to be 256 bytes compiler, but maybe it was a joke as well, I don't know)
FalseLanguage
UnLambdaLanguage
PleasePorigeHot (I ask somebody that doesn't know how, to make programming language, it wasn't complete, so I wrote the second page, and it made this.)

Other programming language discussion

One may define a LanguageSubset, as an aid to teaching. Or talk about LittleLanguage. (...really a discussion of Unix tools) Or you may need help ChoosingTheRightLanguage to solve your problem.

On the other hand, someone people regret starting a LanguagePissingMatch... (btw, CobolIsDead!)

Or, to address ProgrammingLanguages at a higher level. Is it a real programming language, even if it's not TuringComplete? How might one go about MeasuringLanguageComplexity?

And discussions of LanguageAsInterface, LanguageUsability, EnglishLikeFeatures and such focus on the intersection between HumanBeings and the languages they use to communicate with each other and with compilers and interpreters.

ProgrammingParadigm shows some typical ProgrammingLanguages for each paradigm.
