General-purpose programming language
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In computer software, a general-purpose programming language is a programming language designed to be used for writing software in a wide variety of application domains (a general-purpose language). In many ways a general-purpose language only has this status because it does not include language constructs designed to be used within a specific application domain (e.g., a page description language contains constructs intended to make it easier to write programs that control the layout of text and graphics on a page).
A domain-specific programming language is one designed to be used within a specific application domain.
The following are some general-purpose languages:
- Ada
- ALGOL
- Assembly language
- BASIC programming language
- Boo programming language
- C
- C++
- C#
- Clojure
- COBOL
- D
- Dart
- Elixir
- Erlang
- F#
- Fortran
- Go
- Harbour
- Haskell
- Idris
- Java
- JavaScript
- Julia
- Lisp
- Lua
- Modula-2
- Oberon
- Objective-C
- Pascal
- Perl
- PHP
