List of Programming Languages By Type - Procedural Languages

Procedural Languages

Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of the unit and scope (the data viewing range of an executable code statement). A procedural program is composed of one or more units or modules, either user coded or provided in a code library; each module is composed of one or more procedures, also called a function, routine, subroutine, or method, depending on the language. Examples of procedural languages include:

• Ada (multi-purpose language)
• ALGOL (extremely influential language design. The second high level language compiler.)
  • SMALL Machine Algol Like Language
• Alma-0
• BASIC (BASICs are innocent of most modularity in (especially) versions before about 1990)
• BCPL
• BLISS
• C
• C++ (C with objects + much else)
• C# (similar to Java/C++)
• ChucK (C/Java-like syntax, with new syntax elements for time and parallelism)
• COBOL
• Cobra
• ColdFusion
• Combined Programming Language (CPL)
• Curl
• D
• DASL
• dylan.NET
• eC (Ecere C)
• ECMAScript
  • ActionScript
  • ECMAScript for XML
  • JavaScript (first named Mocha, then LiveScript)
  • JScript
• Eiffel
• Fortran (better modularity in later Standards)
  • F
• Go
• Harbour
• HyperTalk
• Java
  • Groovy
  • Join Java
  • Tea
• JOVIAL
• Lasso
• Modula-2 (fundamentally based on modules)
• MATLAB
• MUMPS (more modular in its first release than a language of the time should have been; the standard has become still more modular since then)
• Nemerle
• Oberon and Oberon-2 (improved, smaller, faster, safer follow-ons for Modula-2)
  • Component Pascal
  • Lagoona
  • Seneca
• Obix
• Occam
• Oriel
• Pascal (successor to ALGOL 60, predecessor of Modula-2)
  • Free Pascal (FPC)
  • Object Pascal (Delphi)
• PCASTL
• Perl
• Pike
• PL/C
• PL/I (large general purpose language, originally for IBM mainframes)
• Plus
• Python
• R
• Rapira
• RPG (only available in IBM's System i midrange computers)
• S-Lang
• VBScript
• Visual Basic
