AutoIt
AutoIt, short for AutoIt Scripting Language, is a freeware automation scripting language created by Jonathan Bennett in 1999. AutoIt is designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting tasks, such as simulating keystrokes, mouse movements, and window manipulation. It can be downloaded from the AutoIt Official Downloads, and scripts are executed using the AutoIt3.exe interpreter or compiled into standalone executables with Aut2Exe.
Ballerina
Ballerina, short for Ballerina Programming Language, is an open-source, cloud-native programming language designed for networked applications and microservices, created by WSO2 in 2017. Ballerina runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and provides built-in support for services, APIs, and data handling in distributed systems.
Bash
Bash, short for Bourne Again SHell, is a Unix shell and command language created by Brian Fox for the GNU Project in 1989. Bash is widely used for scripting, automation, and system administration across Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like operating systems. It can be installed through system package managers (e.g., apt install bash on Debian/Ubuntu, brew install bash on macOS) or accessed via official documentation at the GNU Bash Official Page.
BASIC
BASIC, short for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, is a high-level programming language created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1964 at Dartmouth College. BASIC was designed to provide an easy-to-learn language for students and novice programmers.
Batch
Batch, short for Batch Scripting Language, is a command-line scripting language for Windows created by Microsoft in the early 1980s. Batch is used to automate repetitive tasks, manage files, configure system settings, and run sequences of commands in the Windows Command Prompt (CMD). Scripts are typically saved with the .bat or .cmd extension and executed directly by the command interpreter.
B
B, short for Programming Language B, is a procedural programming language created by Ken Thompson at Bell Labs in 1969. B was developed as a simplified version of BCPL, intended for system and operating system programming on early Unix systems. Historical implementations and documentation can be accessed at the B Language Historical Resources.
BCPL
BCPL, short for Basic Combined Programming Language, is a procedural programming language created by Martin Richards in 1966. BCPL was designed for writing system software and compilers, influencing many later languages, including B and C. The language runs on various historical and modern platforms through emulators and legacy systems, with official specifications and historical resources available at the BCPL Official Documentation.
BeanShell
BeanShell, short for BeanShell Scripting Language, is a lightweight scripting language for Java created by Pat Niemeyer in 1999. BeanShell allows developers to execute standard Java syntax dynamically, providing a way to run scripts, automate tasks, and test Java code interactively. Official downloads and documentation are available at the BeanShell Official Site, and scripts can be executed using the bsh command in a terminal or integrated into Java applications.
Monkey X
Monkey X, short for Monkey X Programming Language, is a cross-platform programming language created by Blitz Research in 2004, primarily for game development. Monkey X allows developers to write code once and compile it to multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web via HTML5. Official downloads, tools, and documentation are available at the Monkey X Official Site.
FreeBASIC
FreeBASIC, short for FreeBASIC Programming Language, is an open-source, procedural programming language that is largely compatible with QuickBASIC, created by the FreeBASIC Development Team in 2004. FreeBASIC enables developers to build console, GUI, and game applications on Windows, Linux, and DOS. Official downloads, compiler binaries, and documentation are available at the FreeBASIC Official Site, with precompiled packages and source code for multiple platforms.
