Zoo of domain-specific languages
We start by giving examples of:
– formatting languages
– query languages
– Scratch-like languages
– XML-based languages
– logic programming languages
– “math-based” languages
– languages supporting illustrative programming
– languages supporting projectional editing
Here is the full list of languages that are mentioned: HTML, Markdown, CSS, SASS, LESS, SQL, LaTeX, DOT, Logo, Scratch, LEGO Mindstorms NXT, SVG, XAML, XML, JSON, YAML, build languages, LISP, COBOL, Prolog, Isabelle/HOL, Actulus Modeling Language, Business Rule Designer, Solidity, Alloy, R, Matlab, Microsoft Excel (as an example of illustrative programming environment), Microsoft Access, Microsoft Frontpage, Mathcad, mbeddr.
