List of programming languages by type
Wikimedia list article
The notable programming languages listed here are grouped by their notable language attribute. As a language can have multiple attributes, the same language can appear in multiple groupings.
Agent-oriented programming languages
Agent-oriented programming allows the developer to build, extend and use software agents, which are abstractions of objects that can message other agents.
Clojure
F#
GOAL
SARL
Array languages
Array programming (also termed vector or multidimensional) languages generalize operations on scalars to apply transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher-dimensional arrays.
Aspect-oriented programming languages
Aspect-oriented programming enables developers to add new functions to code, known as advice, without modifying that code. Instead, it uses a pointcut to implement the advice into code blocks.
Ada
AspectJ
Groovy
Nemerle
Raku
Assembly languages
Assembly languages directly correspond to a machine language (see below), so machine code instructions appear in a form understandable by humans, although there may not be a one-to-one mapping between an individual statement and an individual instruction. Assembly languages let programmers use symbolic addresses, which the assembler converts to absolute or relocatable addresses. Most assemblers also support macros and symbolic constants.
Authoring languages
An authoring language is a programming language designed for use by a non-computer expert to easily create tutorials, websites, and other interactive computer programs.
The public source identifies “List of programming languages by type” as wikimedia list article. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around List, programming and languages.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “List of programming languages by type”, the useful work is to connect “wikimedia list article” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q389085. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
