Computer languages, more commonly called programming languages, are developed all the time, and new ones emerge regularly. While some new ones are short lived, some old ones come out of fashion or fail to catch-up with more modern developments, a wide variety of programming languages are in use.

Some will argue that the C Programming languages and all its derivatives, such as the C++, C# and Java languages (to name just a few) are the most widely used programming languages today.

However, other programming languages are equally powerful and versatile.

While programming language families such as C or Pascal are typically general-purpose languages, an even larger set of languages is specialized to a specific problem domain. These include languages specialized in describing graphics, describing data or database queries, describing programming languages and their rules, and so on and so forth. The list of specialized languages is even larger than that of general-purpose languages.
