Abstract-Type and Scheme-Definition Language (ASDL) was a computer language developed as part of ESPRIT project GRASPIN, as a basis for generating language-based editors and environments. It combines an object-oriented type system, syntax-directed translation schemes and a target-language interface. ...more on Wikipedia about "Abstract-Type and Scheme-Definition Language"

VEE is a visual programming language and development environment from Agilent Technologies . It is optimized to use with data acquisition devices like digital voltmeters and oscilloscopes, and source devices like arbitrary waveform generators and power supplies. VEE is in the family of dataflow languages. ...more on Wikipedia about "Agilent VEE"

APT programming language is a high-level computer programming language used to generate instructions for numerically controlled machine tools. The name is derived from the acronym for Automatically Programmed Tool. ...more on Wikipedia about "APT programming language"

ARexx is the Amiga version of scripting language REXX by IBM. It has been not licensed from IBM, but it is a version written by Bill Hawes who ported REXX to the Amiga, with many special Amiga features. ...more on Wikipedia about "ARexx"

This is a list of programming languages grouped by category. ...more on Wikipedia about "Categorical list of programming languages"

A computer language is a language used by, or in association with, computers. Often, the term is used synonymously with programming language, but in general a computer language need not be a programming language. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer language"

Cougaar is a Java-based architecture for the construction of large-scale distributed agent-based applications. It is the product of a multi-year DARPA research project into large scale agent systems and includes not only the core architecture but also a variety of demonstration, visualization and management components to simplify the development of complex, distributed applications. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cougaar"

In computer programming, dataflow languages are a class of programming languages that implement dataflow principles and architecture, and model a program, conceptually if not physically, as a directed graph of the data flowing between operations. Dataflow languages share some features of functional languages, and were generally developed in order to bring some functional concepts to a language more suitable for numeric processing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dataflow language"

A declarative programming language is a high-level language that describes a problem rather than defining a solution — it makes use of declarative programming. A declarative programming language says "what", while an imperative programming language says "how". The term is not entirely clear and often controversial; it is sometimes used as a buzzword. ...more on Wikipedia about "Declarative programming language"

Among users of the Perl programming language, the term dignified die is jargon for a case where a programmer anticipates a particular error and sends the information to an error handler function that, for instance, outputs to an error log file and ends the program with some sort of informative error message. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dignified die"

Don't repeat yourself (DRY) is a philosophy about information duplication. No piece of information, be it in a database or a programs source code, should ever be duplicated. In a DRY environment, you will only have to change things once — the opposite of a non-DRY environment, where you will have to do multiple changes to change one piece of information, as it is duplicated. ...more on Wikipedia about "Don't repeat yourself"

GRAIL ( GALEN Concept Representation Language) is a formal language for manipulating models of concept systems. GRAIL is implemented by a GALEN Terminology Server. It is through the GALEN Terminology Server that GALEN models are developed and delivered. ...more on Wikipedia about "GRAIL"

A high-level programming language is a programming language that is easier to program in, to some extent platform-independent, and abstract from low-level computer processor operations such as memory accesses. See programming language for a detailed discussion. ...more on Wikipedia about "High-level programming language"

An interface description language, (alternatively interface definition language) (IDL), is a computer language or simple syntax for describing the interface of a software component. It is essentially a common language for writing the "manual" on how to use a piece of software from another piece of software, in much the same fashion that a user manual describes how to use a piece of software to the user. ...more on Wikipedia about "Interface description language"

In computer programming, an interpreted language is a programming language whose programs may be executed from source form, by an interpreter. Any language may, in theory, be compiled or interpreted; therefore, this designation refers to languages' implementations rather than designs. In fact, many languages have both compilers and interpreters, including Lisp, C, BASIC, and Python. ...more on Wikipedia about "Interpreted language"

A language-independent specification (LIS) is a programming language specification providing a common interface usable for defining semantics applicable toward arbitrary language bindings; in other words, LIS's are language-agnostic. LIS's also mitigate the risk that a certain language binding might reduce compatibility with other languages; an ideal LIS allows the language bindings to take advantage of features of a programming language uncompromisingly. ...more on Wikipedia about "Language-independent specification"

Limnor is a generic codeless and visual programming system. The aim is to enable users to create computer software without directly coding in a programming language. It can be extended by software developers. ...more on Wikipedia about "Limnor"

In computer science, a low-level programming language is a language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's microprocessor. The word "low" does not imply that the language is inferior to high-level programming languages but rather refers to the reduced amount of abstraction between the language and itself; because of this, low-level languages are sometimes described as being "closer to the hardware." ...more on Wikipedia about "Low-level programming language"

Managed code is code executed by a .NET virtual machine, such as Microsoft's .NET Framework Common Language Runtime, The Mono Project, or DotGNU Project. In a Microsoft Windows environment, all other code has come to be known as unmanaged code. ...more on Wikipedia about "Managed code"

Mohol refers to Machine Oriented High Order Languages in Dijkstra's terminology. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mohol programming languages"

Ousterhout's dichotomy is John Ousterhout's division of high-level languages into "system programming languages" and "scripting languages". This ...more on Wikipedia about "Ousterhout's dichotomy"

A programming language is a standardized communication technique for describing instructions for a computer. Each programming language has a set of syntactic and semantic rules used to define computer programs. A language enables a programmer to precisely specify (but see Genetic Programming) what data a computer is to act upon, how these data are to be stored/transmitted, and what actions are to be taken under various circumstances. Programming languages are a type of computer languages, excluding pseudocode which is exclusively for human communication. ...more on Wikipedia about "Programming language"

Query languages are computer languages used to make queries into databases and information systems. ...more on Wikipedia about "Query language"

SPARQL ( recursively, SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is a Semantic Web working draft presently ( as of 2005) undergoing standardization by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium. Several implementations for multiple programming languages exist. ...more on Wikipedia about "SPARQL"

In computer science and computer programming, the term strong typing is used to describe how programming languages handle datatypes. The antonym is weak typing. However, these terms have been given such a wide variety of meanings over the short history of computing that it is often difficult to know what an individual writer means by using them. ...more on Wikipedia about "Strongly-typed programming language"
