Simplified classification for starting developers

Classification can be done in different ways: levels, paradigms, etc.. Below is a non-academic practical approach:

• General-purpose: C, C++, Rust
• Run-time: Java, C#, Kotlin, ABAP, VBS
• Browser/node: javascript, Typescript
• Interpreted scripting: Perl, Python, Ruby, Go, Lua
• Shell script: bat, cmd, bash, ksh, powershell
• Query language: SQL, regex, XPath, ObjectPath, (sed, awk, NoSQL, R)
