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, (s)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.

ABAP
Assembly languages
AutoIt v3
Boo
Cobol
Deluge
Dylan
Eiffel
Excel
Ezhil
Fantom
Gema
Gosu
LabVIEW
Nemerle
Pascal and its variants, like Delphi
PASM, the Parrot assembly language.
PIR, the Parrot intermediate representation.
Processing
Qi
RPG (Report Program Generator)
Self
SQL and derivatives
Vala
VPython

No code

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

Application Master - Specialist language running on VME mainframes only
ASP.Net
AspectJ
Gentee
NQP (Not Quite Perl)
Malbolge - designed to be the hardest programming language ever
SPARC Assembly - a very popular server chipset.
Visual FoxPro

No presence at all

These languages are nowhere on RC.

APEX
AutoLISP
BitC (http://www.bitc-lang.org/), a low-level systems programming language with syntax similar to Standard ML and Haskell.
Charity (http://pll.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/charity1/www/home.html). Charity is a categorical programming language.
CHILL - CCITT High Level Language, a procedural programming language, which is mainly used internally by Siemens and Alcatel for telecommunications.
Cucumber
DDC (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/DDC) is haskell-like language with strict static types, type inference, tracking of mutability and side effects in the type system and default pass-by-reference semantics.
Hack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(programming_language)) a new language with gradual typing invented by Facebook.
Joyce (note: One of the influential concurrent languages, probably similar to super pascal)
MAD (Michigan Algorithmic Decoder)
Mesa, early PARC language (Mesa at Wikipedia)
MUSH
Niakwa - a language that should go down in history
Powerscript (note: Ver 1.0 and Ver 2.0 are different)
Q The equational programming language based on term rewriting.(http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/)
PDP-8 Assembly - one of the most important minicomputers, practically creating the field.
PeopleCode - Wikipedia says, "is an (ool) object-oriented proprietary (case-insensitive) language used to express business logic for PeopleSoft applications."
SCL - Powerful, integer only, System Control Language (VME)
Shakespeare Programming Language - Can be found on Sourceforge
Splus
thinBasic (http://www.thinbasic.com/)
Tutor
TXL
VO (CA-Visual Objects)
Xojo - the new name of REALbasic (since 6/2013), perhaps just create a redirect page? Are there any issues with having two languages point to the same page?
Zeno

Need Syntax Highlighting Support

These languages lack syntax highlighting.

AmigaE
Dao
Forth
BBC BASIC
Logo
Mathematica
Maxima
Metafont
Nemerle
Nimrod (Python is quite close, Nimrod has a lot of distinctive keywords though.)
REALbasic (Visual Basic is very close)
Sather
Seed7
SNOBOL4
