Programming language

From DmWiki

A programming language is a list of instructions that can be executed by a computer.

These generally fall into two categories: compiled or interpreted or are a combination of the two.

Examples of compiled languages are: C, C++ and Pascal examples of a combination of the two are: Python and Java Purely interpreted languages are rare in game programming due to the speed penalty incurred by the parser.
