Computer language
The term computer language is a more expansive and alternate term for the more commonly-used term programming language. Programming languages are a subset of computer languages, and so are other types of languages.
For example, HTML is a markup language, and a computer language, but not traditionally considered a programming language.
Examples
Computer languages include:
- Programming languages (e.g. C++)
- Scripting languages
- Specification languages
- Query language (e.g. SQL, XQuery)
- Markup languages (e.g. HTML - typically used for producing documents)
- Transformation languages (e.g., XSLT)
- Template processing languages
- 4GL
- Hardware description languages
