Programming language classification

language for communicating instructions to a machine

programming language with strong abstraction from details of hardware

category of programming languages according to what methodology of designing and implementing programs their features support

programming language that provides minimal abstraction from the hardware

computer language used to make queries into databases and information systems such as SQL or XQuery

software language not aimed for serious use

computer language specialized to a particular application domain

specialized computer language used to describe the structure and behavior of electronic circuits, and most commonly, digital logic circuits

programming language written graphically by a user

a programming language implemented with a compiler that translates source code into a binary executable form

data structure or code used internally by a compiler or virtual machine to represent source code. An IR is designed to be conducive for further processing, such as optimization and translation

more user friendly and non-procedural in nature i.e., users need to think "what" instead of "how"

computer programming approach dedicated to quantum computers

high-level computer programming language

easily readable and written by programmers and uses mnemonics; is changed by assemblers

binary machine language for programming first generation computers

concept in computer science

Programming paradigm

highly abstract programming language

solve problems using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm

formal language for architecture description and representation

programming language in which the positioning of characters on the page in program text is insignificant

computer language that is broadly applicable across application domains, and lacks specialized features for a particular domain

graphics programming language adapted to programming shader effects
