Can I name a programming language for every letter in the alphabet
I can think of a programming language for 18 out of 26 of the letters of the Latin alphabet
Not sure if that is good or bad
Update: added Go and Zig, Æʃliŋ's suggestion
Update: added NPL, Holly Hoppet's suggestion
Ada
BASIC
C
D
Erlang
FORTH
Go
Haskell
INTERCAL
Julia
Kotlin
LISP
MATLAB
NPL
OCaml
Perl
[don't know]
Raku
S
TeX [I think you can write arbitrary programs in it? Even if it's inconvenient?]
[don't know]
VHDL [does that count as a programming language?]
[W, X, Y: I really don't know 
]
Zig
Any computer touchers want to help me complete the list?
@vaporeon_ some of these that i can think of here are sketchy but
- Go
- QuickBASIC, if you count that
- XML is debatable
- .......YAML? this is even more of a stretch than XML
- Zig
@aescling Added Go and Zig! I'd say XML and YAML are ways of storing data, rather than programming languages... Where I have seen them, they're storing the configuration for a program, or input data, but the program itself is written in something else.
Though nothing is stopping someone from writing an interpreter that reads particular XML tags and treats them as a program...
I'll see if anyone can come up with something better for Q, since if I count QuickBASIC, I'll also have to count the various implementations of LISP and such... But if not, I might take it...
@vaporeon_ XML is debatable because it is more than expurressive enough to, e.g., encode s-expurressions. XSLT has a stronger case fur it though
