I took a look at the raw file (which the REXX program uses), the category file. There is no entry for '''AngelScript''' in that file, but there is an entry for that language in the (raw) language file. The REXX program uses the category file to find entries, and when it finds an entry, it verifies that the language exists (that is, it is indeed a language instead of just a special category), it only then recognizes it as a language. Languages which have no entries in the category file aren't counted. However, the category file does have an entry for '''AngelScript User''' (1 member), so noting that '''AngelScript User''' is not a language, it is just a special category. |

Stated another way, languages that aren't listed in the languages file, but have an entry in the category file aren't counted as being a language that has a computer programming language on Rosetta Code. |
