Script

PowerShell, short for Windows PowerShell, is a task automation and configuration management framework consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language. It is used for system administration, cloud management, DevOps, and automation tasks across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.

Groovy, short for Apache Groovy, is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language for the Java platform that integrates smoothly with existing Java code and libraries. It is commonly used for scripting, building domain-specific languages (DSLs), testing, and automation tasks in web, enterprise, and desktop applications.

PHP, short for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is a widely-used open-source server-side scripting language designed for web development and dynamic content generation. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, PHP can be downloaded and installed for personal or business use via php.net/downloads.

JavaScript, short for ECMAScript, is a high-level, interpreted programming language primarily used to create interactive and dynamic content for websites, applications, and server-side environments. Originally created by Brendan Eich in 1995 while at Netscape, JavaScript can be downloaded and used via any modern web browser or installed on servers through platforms like Node.js for personal or business use.

NewtonScript is a programming language developed by Apple Computer in the early 1990s for its Newton platform, a series of personal digital assistants (PDAs). The language was created by Walter Smith with the aim of providing a highly flexible and dynamic scripting environment tailored to the resource-constrained Newton devices.

Nial (Nested Interactive Array Language) is an array programming language developed by Mike Jenkins in the early 1980s at Queen's University, Canada. It was designed to combine the advantages of both procedural and functional programming while emphasizing the manipulation of arrays and nested data structures. Its development aimed to make the language a powerful tool for interactive problem-solving and data analysis, taking inspiration from earlier languages like APL and Lisp.

NATURAL is a fourth-generation programming language (4GL) developed by Software AG in 1979. It was designed to streamline the development of business applications and make them more accessible for non-technical users. The language is particularly well-suited for database applications, especially when used in conjunction with Adabas, a high-performance database management system also developed by Software AG.

Neko is a lightweight, high-level virtual machine and programming language, created by Nicolas Cannasse in 2005. Initially developed as a target language for Haxe, Neko has since evolved into a versatile tool for scripting, rapid prototyping, and embedding within other applications. It was designed to be simple and efficient, making it ideal for small programs or extensions where more extensive languages like C or Java might be overkill.

Modula-2 is a procedural programming language developed in the late 1970s by Niklaus Wirth, a prominent figure in computer science and the creator of several influential programming languages, including Pascal. The design of Modula-2 was influenced by the experiences Wirth gained while developing Pascal, and it aimed to extend Pascal's capabilities by incorporating features that support modular programming, which is essential for managing large software systems.

Icon is a high-level programming language developed by Ralph Griswold in 1977 at the University of Arizona. Icon was designed as a descendant of SNOBOL, a language focused on string processing, and aimed to provide more robust and versatile capabilities for handling strings, text processing, and non-numeric data. Its focus is primarily on high-level programming, with strong features for pattern matching, goal-directed evaluation, and implicit backtracking.
