Program lang master list

---

Hey! I am writing this list because I know too many programming langudges and dunno what to choose. I include the following:

• Common uses
• Tech area
• Detailed description
• Things I hate/love
• Syntax
• Popularity

Note some languages are excluded because a better no-cost version exists (looking at you JavaScript). Typically, this means that someone hiring you for a language would be fine if you programmed in the “better” version. They will be indicated like:

• JavaScript TypeScript

To prevent bias, Languages are ordered alphabetically.

Enjoy!

Removing the nonos

Duplicates

• Typescript is objectively better than JavaScript in every single way, so JavaScript
• Raku is probably better than Perl
  • But it confuses me
• Kotlin is certainly a better option than Java
