If for some reason, you found this page before you found the language list, you might want to check that out first.

Precheck

Before you add anything to this page...

Is this the right place?

If you're looking for more information on a specific programming language, and we don't have any information on the language you're interested in, you may request it on another page.
If you're looking how to do something specific in a language, see Help:Request a new programming task. But don't forget to check the existing tasks, first.

It is the right place?

If you would like more information about a language that already has a page, add the language to a list below. If the language is already on the list, but we still don't have much information on it, go on to "Getting your request fulfilled".

Getting your request fulfilled

If a regular Rosetta Code contributor knows the language you're asking about, he may write some code. If none of the regular contributors knows the language, then it may not get any code.

You can also try bringing in people from outside Rosetta Code.

If you know someone who knows the language (or any language in this list), we'd be happy if you pointed them in our direction.
If you have Twitter, tweeting out a request that someone add content for your language would probably also be good. Add @rosettacode, and RC's twitter presence may retweet you.
If you have Facebook, post on the Facebook page.

Languages

Underrepresented

The following languages are underrepresented with examples compared to their relative importance. If you know or want to learn any of these languages, please consider adding examples.

Assembly languages
Cobol
Pascal and its variants, like Delphi
SQL and derivatives
UNIX Shell
Visual Basic .NET

No code

These languages have had categories created, but no one has written any example code yet.

Eiffel
Self

No presence at all

These languages are nowhere on RC.

ARM Assembly - the most popular 32-bit embedded processor.
Application Master - Specialist language running on VME mainframes only
Cucumber
Dylan
IBM System/360 (and up) Assembly - still the most-used mainframes in the world.
PDP-8 Assembly - one of the most important minicomputers, practically creating the field.
SCL - Powerful, integer only, System Control Language (VME)
SPARC Assembly - a very popular server chipset.

Need Syntax Highlighting Support

These languages lack syntax highlighting.

ALGOL 68
AmigaE
Dao
E
Forth
Go
Logo
Mathematica
Metafont
Octave (MATLAB could work; aliases are possible in geshi? or simply copy the file with a new name)
Sather
SNOBOL4
