Category:Programming language families: Difference between revisions

This is an attempt to group/organize programming languages into families/categories.

To see how this might work, some of the languages on 99 Bottles of Beer have been moved
to subpages by group, e.g. one subpage for assembly-languages, one subpage for basic-languages, etc.
See Category:Collection Members

There is already a lot covered in Wikipedia about language-categories:
