{{Programming language lists}}

This is a "genealogy" of programming languages. Languages are categorized under the ancestor language with the strongest influence. Those ancestor languages are listed in alphabetic order. Any such categorization has a large arbitrary element, since programming languages often incorporate major ideas from multiple sources.

ALGOL based

APL based

  • APL
  • A+
  • J (also under FL)
  • K (also under LISP)
  • NESL
  • PDL (also under Perl)

BASIC based

Batch languages

C based

  • C (also under BCPL)
  • Lua
  • Alef
  • C++
  • Rust (also under Cyclone, Haskell, and OCaml)
  • D
  • C#
  • Windows PowerShell (also under DCL, ksh, and Perl)
  • Ring (also under BASIC, Ruby, Python, Lua)
  • Cobra (class/object model and other features)

Prolog based

  • Prolog
  • CLP(R), CLP(FD)
  • Mercury

  • Elixir{{cite web |last1=Valim |first1=José |title=Elixir: The Documentary |url=https://cult.honeypot.io/originals/elixir-the-documentary |website=Honeypot |access-date=11 December 2020 |language=English |format=Video |quote=Erickson, they created Erlang. This technology that they created, right, in the eighties, to solve all these problems. It's going to be perfect to solve those issues that we're having right now with concurrency, those issues that we're having with the web in general, right? I think that was the moment when I had the idea of creating a programming language. Like, look I have this absolutely beautiful piece of software which is the Erlang virtual machine. I want to use it more but it's missing some stuff and I want to try adding this missing stuff.}} (also under Ruby)
  • Logtalk

SASL based

SETL based

  • SETL
